Kyle,

I agree with almost everything you said, it was a good
response. There is one detail I'd like to correct.
Quoating from http://support.miramarsys.com/techsupp/71upgrade.htm

        We have added a great new feature of PC MACLAN Pro! Now your
        Windows 95/98 PC can access any AppleShare IP (v5.0 or higher)
        or ShareWay IP servers, whether the server is located on your
        company's LAN, at a branch office on a WAN, or anywhere worldwide
        over the internet.

                Harris
