Peter,

My suggestion would be to get a small 5-port hub from LinkSys, for example
(about $30), and two 10-Base-T network adapter cards for your computers, if
they don't already have them, and two RJ-45 cables to hook each computer to
the hub. You can have up to 5 computers hooked this way, and share disks,
printers, etc.

There are a few things to do in Windows95 to get this all working. Look in
Windows95 help.
