  Yeah you need to select which computer will be the host machine
and which will be the sender.  Have your friend run a terminal on
his machine and make sure you set the baud rates.  On you machine
Match your baud rates with his by editing Preferences SERIAL.  Then
Issue the MOUNT AUX:.   Now execute a NEWSHELL AUX: or NEWCLI AUX:
on your cli or shell window.  On the terminal AMIGA your friend
should see a NEWSHELL> or 1> (for NEWCLI) prompt.  He can now
access your machine as if he was using a CLI thru the terminal
software.   
                            Good luck.
