Thanks, Steven, for the concise guide on this - much better understandable, and definitely more to the point than what's written in that "/ppp/HOWTO/direct (connect)" text.
And I'll try it out as soon as I can find the time to do that, as I've to get to a permanent solution. Though maybe that could be that "parCP" as well - thanks Wes ! For the moment, I just used the workaraound with DOS transfer and rebooting - the point is that I have to work with those files, and there's something called deadlines, and those 5 to 6 hours already lost with fruitless trials and searching for how-tos which reveil as useless are just unallowable in such a situation. It was just one exemple again of what happens when working _with_ a Linux box, and not _on_ it (or its "administration"). BTW, on older DOS conditions: I wrote a dang simple proggy with the Basic interpreter(!) that came along in olden times with MS-DOS 3.2 (must have been around '86/'87) in order to acquire files from the (incompatible) Tandy-100; and quite a number of later examples followed. No sweat. I use some of those little helpers still to-day when something goes awry but admittedly the DR-DOS Filelink is a bit more comfortable. // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2002-07-23 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
