Laplink require either a serial port or a parrelel port on each machine (but not both at the same time). You can not, however, use serial on one machine and parallel on another. If you are going to do this often, you can get a switch box to go back and forth between the printer and laplink. Also, you only need speech working with one of the two machines. Incedently, you can also transfer files with the software built into Windows. You just have to install "direct cable connection." You can find it in the add/remove programs on the windows setup tab. (No I won't give you instructions though. You can however look at the help file. Same with more info on laplink.) -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ Seek simplicity -- and distrust it. Alfred North Whitehead
