I use three ways quite a bit: * FTP * NFS * SMB (aka Windows file sharing) If you're just getting into networking FTP will be the easiest. > Also and this is a little off topic but I can Telnet from the Windows > 98 side to Slink but can't Telnet from Slink to Windows 98, is this > possible? You can telnet into Win98 only if Windows is running a telnet daemon. Take my advice and don't try it - Windows 9x sucks for that sort of thing (being a server). > I get the error, Telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: > Connection refused. Thanks, kent That means the Windows machine refused the connection, mostly because there wan't anything that could respond. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
