The package comes with a serial cable to allow you to connect two PC-compatible computers, and an application program to transfer files between them. Laplink is very fast -- it transfers files between machines at 115,000 baud. But as far as I know, it is a proprietary protocol. There are no other implementations of Laplink other than the one put out by Traveling Software, and the product does not come with a definition of the protocol. You could write Traveling Software and ask about the definition of their protocol: Traveling Software 18702 North Creek Parkway Bothell, Washington USA 98011 --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics, Inc. portuesi@sgi.com "every now and then things become clear" -- jane siberry
