I would like to know what suggestions people have for the following
scenario.

I have a Mac SE (pre-FDHD) with accelerator, etc.
I have a PC clone with Hard disk and 5.25" floppy.
I have a pretty good system for getting files between the PC clone and
the Mac.  But I would like it to be better.

I just got a Toshiba T1200XE with 20 meg HD and 3.5" floppy.  I have a
2400 baud modem built-in.

The question what is the best way for me to transfer files between these
machines.  Transfering to the PC clone is not as important as
Mac<-->laptop transfers.

I am new to this; but some possibilities as I see it:

Get the FDHD upgrade so that I can read PC floppies (~$400-~$500)
PLI Turbo floppy for the Mac.
Lap link Mac
Lap link (PC)

Any other ideas?  Any recommendations? 

I also am interested in Laptop<-->Sun (SPARCStation) connectivity.


				Thanks,
