Sun is back out again, Jim. Flat tide too. 18.3'

 JH> Hello, Jean.
 
        Hello, Jim, again.

 JH> I remember a bit more about it now that you mention it.  Usernames
 JH> and password?  for each computer, and set up what can and cannot be
 JH> shared over the network.

        As I am the sole user of these systems here, I shy away from PWs
        and the user name is not relevant. The Network name is. Mine are
        all simply name A. Simple and easy to remember. I also share all
        HDs and devices. I have access to all from any keyboards. In a
        home system that is for sure.

 JH> With the data transfer serial or parallel cables,  M$ calls it a
 JH> Direct Cable Connection, and it is set up in the same place as Dial-up
 JH> Networking. Yes, I remember having to do something with NetBeui.

        I think that it is not in the DUN folder, but the Network app.
        And a DCC is what I use too. I daisy-chain mine from the back of
        the scanner, I pull the printer cable and that is easier than
        moving the tower at all. I have not used the DCC lately as all
        is on the LAN.
