Application Sharing over the LAN
Most operating systems such as Windows 95, 98 and MacOS provide the
capability for LAN users to share applications, files and printers between
computers. For example, if only one computer has a Web browser, other LAN
users may share the browser for accessing the Internet. Note that speed will likely
be reduced when sharing applications. Refer to your operating system
documentation for instructions on setting up sharing between users on a LAN.
