If I were to take this option, what benefits would I notice? For example, would I be able to run a single program off of all the machines simultaneously, thus increasing its speed? Or would the best I could do be to run separate programs on separate machines? > What you can do is run one program on machine A and another on machine B > (showing them both on the same terminal) and get the benefits of > multitasking without having one machine take the load of both programs. > But I'm not sure how effective this will be on those 386's.

To do this, would I have to specify which machine to run each program on every time I run a program? That could get a little tedious. Thanks! --- Sean Mason
