I ran a LANTastic network that was similar, LT had some nice tools for 
making a mesh network, printer redirection, even screen and keyboard 
redirection.

We replaced it all with a Netware network, and the LT network had to go 
somewhere...  :)

It ran my home network for years - was even able to make a DOS VDM in OS/2 
that supported it because LANTastic didn't support OS/2 natively.
