What do you want to do with that link? You could set up a getty (mgetty preferred) on the linux box and use HyperTerminal to login. Or you could set up a "direct cable connection" in Windows and use PPP to network the two. Then you could use telnet for logins, samba for file sharing, etc. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
