The following info is needed: 1. Transfer speeds, and through what port. 2. Limit on the number of ST's that can be hooked together. 3. The amount of distance the ST's can be apart. 4. Info on file servers, printers etc. 5 A rough price for the network based on number of machines. 6. What type of protection is there, passwords, file access, mail. 7. How expandable is the system with other networks like Novell for the IBM. 8. Any pros or cons for or against a network. The network would most likly be made up of around 15-20 Mega 2's. One of the main things is being able to set two or three of these networks and have able to talk to each other. If anyone has some addresses, please pass them on to me. Thanx for your help Barry
