Does anyone out there know of a program called Map Assist. I have heard
from a technical type that this is an economical substitute for optical
networks such as Opti-Net in allowing the networking of CD-ROMs.
Apparently it creates some sort of peer-to-peer network on Novell 3xx
networks to allow the addition of CD-ROMs, flopticals, etc.

Any assistance including opinions on this program would be much
appreciated since I have to make a  decision on some such program in the
very near future.
