Micheal, I have the MultiFace III card, and the disk and manual that came with it had plenty of documentation as well as executables to cover anything you got. If you know someone with MFC3 card just look at their docs and disk. You'll find that bsc of Germany gave out 3 forms of ParNet, namely ParNet, PitNet, and PiaNet for the standard PAR:, the MFC2 PITx:, and the MFC3 PITx: respectively. I can't imagine bsc copyrighting something that started in the public domain so if you can't find, obtaining a copy should be no problem. Also the docs I got say that actually more than two Amigas can be linked via ParNet, just a little trickier, and even gives an example of setting up 1 server and 2 clients. Also there is ProNet.LHA, under Networking Lib 4, that may be useful. It's supposed to be a ParNet replacement. I haven't looked at it yet.
