PCTools ver 6.0 includes LapLink support.  I suspect they licensed the
software.  I was also told that PCTools can talk to another PCTools
using the LapLink support software, ie, lls (the server) and llXc (the
client, I forget which letter replaces X) can interoperate.  All you need
is the appropriate null-modem cable.
