Here is a commercial ( $$$, not too many actually ) solution:- http://www.fastlynxsoftware.com/FastLynx3.asp IIRC a share-ware pre-cursor of this was floating around the bbses in the olden-days. It worked a treat. I _might remotely_ be able to find a copy on my daughter's geriatric little laptop. > Please can anyone tell me how to kick the PCMCIA card into life and whether > Tom's has the right stuff to smb to my winpc and copy stuff over...? The tomsrtbt.FAQ file has this line of wisdom to use to transfer filesystems "find <path> | cpio -o | rsh <system> cd <path> ";" cpio -iumd" So boot up a recent tomsrtbt on both machines and go to it. You will need to start the rshd daemon by hand on the destination machine. Also if you can't get the pcmcia network card to work you can always use the plip device, which is compiled into the kernel, with a fastlynx parallel port cable. This might make an intersting 10 minute demo for tomorrow week if folks are interested. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
