Samba servers aren't that hard to set up, and it would be the way I'd go. Essentially, Samba implements the SMB protocol used by Microsoft networking. It allows Unix/Linux machines to be peers on Microsoft networks, and even be domain controllers. I've implemented Samba in a heterogeneous network to let Windows clients map directories on a Unix server as shared network drives. It's possible to get MS-DOS clients to communicate with servers running Samba. This might be a place to start: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/samba/index.html If I'm going to have a server machine, I prefer to have it run an OS intended for servers, even if the clients are all DOS. > Marcos Florence ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
