[G4] Sharing the internet

[rich northouse]

Hi Guys,

You can use PCMacLan by Miramar to put a PC on an Apple LAN.  You can 
share printers and the internet. Don't know about a scanner.  PCMacLan 
makes the PC look like a Mac to the LAN. You can share files also, so I 
guess you could make a scan on one machine and transfer the file to 
another.
