Win95 has "direct connect" which comes with it. Just hookup the serial
ports together and go. Or you can download the IR port driver software from
www.microsoft.com/windows and you can do it wireless with a $55 Adaptec,
Airport 2000 desktop unit. I move files all the time this way. Some day
I'll get around to figuring how to use "Brief Case". If you have Win31 then
it's Puma's Tranxit for IR or cable. I think Win95 would be cheaper...
