Infosphere’s ComServe allows all members of an AppleTalk network to share devices connected to the modem ports of other Macs — a simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective way to share expensive peripherals, without additional hardware or cables.
Servers and Workstations
ComServe divides a network into two groups. The Mac to which a shared device is physically connected is the server; the other Macs in the network are workstatiom. With ComServe the Mac can simultaneously be a server (being accessed by other Macs) and a workstation (accessing peripheral devices on other servers in the network). So even when your Mac is a server, it’s still yours.
The program captures input to and output from the modem port on a workstation and redirects it over the network to the modem port of the appropriate server. Using ComServe is very simple. You select the desired server through the Chooser, then run an application as usual. When you must access a modem port, ComServe automatically steps in and e.stablishes a connection with the desired server. The only difference you'll notice between using the server and having a direct connection are the dialog boxes.
