= SUMMARY =

The 3Com EtherSeries network is an older network that uses the standard Ethernet technology, requires DOS version 2.00, and does not handle file locking. Care should be taken in editing files on this network because more than one person can access the same files. This may lead to data corruption or loss.

The 3Com 3Plus network contains more features than the EtherSeries, requires DOS versions 3.10 or 3.20, and supports file locking.
