I can't actually do anything with the software on the Win 3.1 machine.<br />
<br />
I have the core of Win3.1 and thats it.<br />
<br />
What type of file server will it support? <br />
<br />
How would you set up your network to fit in this machine?

Well im not sure on whats available in the &quot;Core&quot; 3.11 installation. But if it has either a coaxial or maybe even a ethernet adapter my guess would be IPX. But i think you needed Novell software to enable it, and it wasnt core functionality as far as i know.<br />
<br />
Else you might be limited to parallel or serial connections. Using hyper terminal you should be able to connect the latter of modern systems..<br />
