Hah! Ya, Farallon had these nifty packages to let you integrate PC's/Mac's
in the same network. I once worked on one such network that used a Mac II
as the file server. Users with PC laptops who scanned tiff images in the
field had to upload to it. If I remember right, it was ~3 minutes to the
meg on the transfer. You can't believe how happy everyone was when I
replaced that Mac II with a 66mhz 486 running NT 3.51....
