RE: Lantastic/LanServer via single NIC

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes you can do this (provided the FSIOP is the ethernet version). If you
keep lantastic you will be wasting the entire FS (File Server) part of the
FSIOP, but it can be used as a simple ethernet adapter. Simply create an
ethernet line on the 400, configure IP and load client access on the PCs.

-Walden

PS. The FSIOP is now called the IPCS
