After just purchasing a second Macintosh, I would like to be able to transfer
the contents of the internal drive of my Mac Classic onto the internal
drive of my MacIIsi. Is there an easy (not be efficient) way of transfer-
ing this data via direct serial cable hookups? Someone mentioned something
about a null-modem (sp?) configuration, but I have little idea if this is an
acceptable means, or how to go about setting it up. I do have telecomm-
unications software (if needed) and I'm willing to purchase
CarbonCopyMac or similar software package if needed.

	How about "direct AppleTalk"?  A couples of friends and I used a
standard ImageWriter cable to link an SE and SE/30 for a little Falcon session. 
It worked fine and was a hell of a lot of fun!!!
	There might be some technical probs that I am not aware of.  If there
is, could someone with more network experience correct me or comment on this
method??  Thanks.
