I currently run an iMAc DVSE on a home network with two pc's sharing a cable modem connection and files freely between them. I run a package on the iMac called MacSOHO that allows the machines to talk together. The iMac runs OS9.2.2 and the pc's use Win98SE and WinXphome. I am considering the switch to OS X and would like to know if I can maintain this network operation (in both directions) with out additional software? Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of this type of operation?

You can share files using Samba. See the following:

OS X.2 and XP Home both have Internet sharing capability.
