A good hand-holding manual for DCC is http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/kime/directcc/index.html BTW, if one is using a serial cable or IR to network under W95, you'll get more flexibility by using Dial-Up Networking/Dial-Up Server together with a 'virtual' modem on each machine. The advantage is true bidirectionality (with DCC you have to 'fool' the system into letting each machine be a guest on the other simultaneously). However, DCC *does* have the advantage that you can use it and DUN at the same time, which means that (together with a proxy server or similar) you can dial into an ISP with one machine and have both machines on the internet. (I recently used this in order to let a desktop use a laptop's modem.) - David R.
