Does anyone use their Rainbow's as a part of a Network of which an IBM or Compatiable is the server. I have seven Rainbows all with Hard Disc, Rambow, and Code Blue I would like to use as workstations. Any information would be appreciated. WJWJR.

William, The basic problem with such an arrangement is that the Rainbow has no network-communications capability — just the serial port, which limits throughput to levels that aren't really acceptable for most network requirements. -Bill
