   I understand now.  I was not aware that you could connect 2 computers
   with a serial cable and comm programs.  Thanks for the enlightenment. :-)

   Okay, I see how this is done now thanks.  How would one connect the
   computers with the parallel ports ( as you memtioned before ) though?
   I don't see a "LPT1" option for ports when selecting "Direct Connect"
   in TFW?  Thanks.
