Argghh!!! Horrible horrible horrible Amcom ENet.
 
It is a horrendously crippled network filing system with *no*
networking capability! No NetTx, no NetRx. None of the things that
makes a network actually any use as a network. It locks the system
into a pretend remote DFS served from an Amcom ENet Server. It
is purely and simply a remote DFS system. I had to use an Amcom
ENet system when working a Camp Beaumont in summer '87.
 
Horrible.
