Hi!
Neil, this puts my efforts in a different light. Have you any on connecting
the lib to a desktop? I tried the direct cable thing and I can't seem to
get either side to be host or client. I suspect the problem may be the OLD
win95 OS on the Libretto and perhaps the fact that it is the Japanese
version, so perhaps a double byte issue. I'm trying to connect it
initially to a Windows machine. The Windows machine is also networked to a
Linux box so that I'd have some options if I could just get it to respond. .
Cheers!
