You could send messages back and forth during a dual transfer. [snip] On comp.binaries.mac last year there was a cute little program that allowed two-way transfers and chat mode simultaneously. It was based on some kind of satellite protocol that had error-correction and compression stuff so that neither machine had to respond to the packets as they were received. (to run it, you set up two macintoshes, and entered a batch list into each. Both users hit the go button, and then were free to chat while the files transferred...) Note that this is completely in software; generic external modems. > -Greg T. -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ...!ucbvax!cory!fadden
