There's two ways of doing this: * Using HyperTerminal (or some other program) to make the slink system act like a terminal server. * PPP/SLIP over a serial cable. Unfortunately, when Win9x thinks of PPP or SLIP, it also thinks of a modem. I hear there's a .inf floating around that lets Win9x use PPP over a null modem. The best way of doing things, I think, is ethernet. I don't know how much things cost in Germany, but here in the US you can get a "home networking kit" for about US$70. It includes two PCI cards, a hub, and two ethernet cables. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
