Hi Eko. I assume you are familiar with the few abandonware items
listed on Rich Green's "Free Software For Dos" pages
<http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1401/softlib1.htm>,
Like Data Perfect, Directory Freedom, 1dirPro, and a few others.
I just picked up on another one; quoting from
<http://www.perftech.com/>:
Effective January 1, 1998, Bay Networks no longer sells,
develops, or provides support for POWERLan, POWERsave
, and POWERfusion products. As a result, POWERLan and
POWERsave are not Year 2000 compliant according to the Bay
Networks standards described in the Bay Networks Year 2000
Product Compliance Policy
(http://www.baynetworks.com/year2000/policy.shtml ).
These products will not be further developed or updated to
meet Bay Networks Year 2000 Compliance in the future.
[...]
POWERLan � and POWERsave� are now available as freeware ! To see
the list of software and documentation, please click here

unquote.
POWERlan, for Dos and Windows. Can be used with Win95 too it seems.
But is it good or bad? How does it compare to say Lantastic,
Personal Netware and other packages? I don't know. Maybe someone
here do? Site offers documentation as separate download, but
unfortunately it turns out to be pretty large MS-WORD documents, so
I didn't bother to download it now. Software it self comes in 3 zip
files of 1.2mb each (floppy disks )
All the best,
Bjorn
