49 Are there any peer-peer network packages for the Amiga?

Yes, several.
  ENLAN-DFS    from   Interworks    provides peer to peer  networking and Distributed
File System over   SANA II   compatible hardware. 
  Envoy    from   IAM   provides peer to peer networking for Amigas that is  tied very
close to the operating system. It too is SANA II compatible.
  Resource Management Force   has a zorro II card called    QuickNet   which uses thin
ethernet, and special Amiga to Amiga software.
ALAN-FS   is a peer-to-peer network package that allows full  transparent
file-sharing, device sharing over ethernet. It requires  WB2.0 and the Commodore
AS225 package. It is available from    GfxBase, Inc  , or
  Canadian Prototype Replicas  . NOTE: Current Product status  unknown.   FEEDBACK  
appreciated.
  Dnet    ---   Dnet has client/server software for both Amiga-Amiga and Amiga-UNIX
networking over a serial line. Among other things Dnet supports shells, file
transfer, IRC, and something like NFS. Dnet is available on   Aminet  .
PARnet/PARbench  ---   PARbench   is a workbench installable version of PARnet which
allows two Amigas to be networked using a parallel port and cable. It is basically
file sharing similar to NFS, but Amiga only. PARbench greatly simplifies
installing and using PARnet.
