With more people working on their own, often in home businesses, and more families owning multiple computers, one of the hottest topics in computing is the small network. OS/2 version 4 shipped with peer-to-peer networking built right in, giving users a powerful tool for setting up that small network. Below are some helpful links for networking with OS/2.
