Terry talks about TOPS and LapLink Mac...

The solution I recommend over these is MacLink Plus.  It comes with the 
required cables to connect Mac's and PC's.  It also has translators to 
go from different IBM formats to Mac formats.  Translators for the most
popular word processing, database and spreadsheet packages are included.
The file transfer rate is upto 57000 baud.  I have been using this for
a couple years and am very satisfied.  The nice thing about the latest
version is that you can use the translators with Apple File Exchange.
In most cases, just transferring a PC file to the Mac is useless, unless
it is translated to the proper format.
