PARNET

[DGB]

Does anybody out there remember PARNET?  I used it years ago more or less as a novelty.  Now I have an application that I think would put it to good use.  I still have it and the special parallel cable.  Maybe someone has improved on it since I played with it.  As I remember you could control another Amiga from the Amiga you are operating.  I seem to remember being able to access drives and run programs remotely.  If this is so then I think I could really use it now.  Any thoughts out there on this or am I just showing my age?

Parnet, still one of the best free networking packages out there.   :-)

Tesral,
Do you know if there have been any improvements on parnet or what the last version # was?  I need to look at the one I have to see if it does have a version # on it.  Do you know if the drivers you mentioned are with the parnet program?  Maybe someone else will know what they are.  

I want to link two 2000's together that both have GVP combo cards in them.  Since the combos have extra parallel ports on them I was thinking of using them as dedicated PARNET ports thus leaving the other palallel port available for printers.  

If possible I want to be able to operate and see what is happening on my second 2000 from my primary 2000.  Because of the other monitors involved with the toaster I jut dont have room for another monitor.  I can use a keyboard/monitor A/B switch but it would still be great to have the second 2000 under control.

Hi Dunx,
Thanks a lot for the tip.  I'll take a look at it.  Apparently you like Pronet better.  Are there some advantages?
