Joining two small LAN's to become one . . .

[Reggie Freedman]

Hello,

I need to connect two LAN's: 8 users on a window98 peer-to-peer office
network and two users at a sales office
windows98 peer-to-peer network... Do you have a product and/or software
suggestion to join the two LAN's
together as one to share drives and printers both ways? I need to print
from either to either using lpt1, 2 and 3.
For example, packing list to lpt1, invoice to lpt2 and labels to lpt2 at
either location, depending where stuff is
shipped/picked up at. Also run the DOS accounting/sales orders
application at the sales office, across the
connection. Speed is not important. Now one user at the sales office,
maybe two within 6 months. pcAnywhere
would allow running the DOS application and printing at the remote, but
I would really like the two (windows98se networking - TCP/IP) LAN's to
be joined together.

I would like to use the pair of 56K US Robotic External Modems I have.
Otherwise, maybe a 24/7 56K digital line
(My AT&T account rep suggested doing this) between sales and office and
whatever you might suggest for either
to dial into/connect (on demand?) to the windows98 TCP/IP office
windows98se network. If the calling could be
bi-directional, this 'feature' would be a plus.

So, I think I need a tcp/ip-modem to (analog or digital?) modem/tcp/ip
connection. What software/equipment do
you suggest I might look for?
