Think I'll follow your and Charles' advvise and go parallel.
What's the deal, hook up to the LTP1 port and run some sort of software?
Never messed with this stuff as this is really the first time I've had
two computers and with a bit of luck soon to be three.

Well I've got those ports available but as above I'll take advise
and go parallel.

That much I knew, never messed with the software and transfer protocols

 I'm at kevlar{at}verizon.net and could use a few items.
 Nothing spectacular but a few items.
 I could use a 200 MHz Pentium CPU either MMX or not to bring another
 system up. I'll select the coputers-4-sale echo as well.
