Hi,

I'm writing a Database using MS Access for the storage and retrieval of pallets in a warehouse and need to test it in a multi-user enviroment.

I have a desktop and access to a laptop both of which have MS Access installed, however I need to link them together by means of a simple network. I would like to do this as cheaply as possible.

I believe a cheap ISA card and the cheapest PCMCIA card I can find should do the trick.

Wants the difference between an ISA card and an ISA Combi Card ? 

Does 10MB/Sec sound fine for this type of test ?
 
Do all network cards require terminating when at the end of a link ?

Any other advice before I buy ?

Thanks in advance
Kevin Guest
