The last thing that I want to do is introduce a THRID computer to
this. I'm not about to go out and invest in a router, so what would be
the best way to go about doing this with the equiptment that I have?
Can this be done with Samba? I'm about to go archive-diving now, but
if anyone has any advise they'd be willing to share, I'm all ears. Er,
well, eyes,....
