Can anyone offer assistance with this particular problem, please? I have an Amiga 1500, a Mac Quadra and a Pentium PC between which I need to move large numbers of files from time to time. I have an Ethernet card (10-base-2 and 10-base-5) for the Amiga and some software called 'Amiga Client Software for Novell Netware'. I have an adaptor for the Apple network port that offers a UTP socket. I have a triple interface Ethernet card for the Pentium, which runs Windows for Workgroups. The question is, how can I link this lot together – cost effectively – to allow me to transfer files at reasonable speed between all three systems? I really don't want to have to set up a Novell 3.1 server just to achieve file transfer, but the other options aren't obvious. If you like knotty problems, exercise your little grey cells on this one – please! Thanks, Phil.
