I appreciate any tips or suggestions.
You should be able to copy files between machines using a ftp client on the Win98 machine. If you want to use Explorer, you will need to install the samba package. I would recommend putting the modem on the Linux machine and using diald and IP-masquerading to route the Win98 machine to the internet. Alternatively you could run wingate on the Win98 machine. I think it is free for a two-computer installation. Bob ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
