Hihi,

The program is no problem to find, the hardware is what matters.

Term, NComm, Termite.

That commercial s/w & h/w kit - twin express?

Quicker than what? :)
Statements like that would fail you in an A-Level Physics exam ;)

M> OR is there a way I can make a TCP/IP connection between the PC and

Serial: of course you can, how are you making your internet connection? (Okay,
fine you probably have ADSL or something :)

An easy way to do this is to write a dial script for one side to mimik a
modem's Hayes command set.

Parallel: look up PLIP on Aminet. I'm not sure what solution there is for your
PC, as I don't know what OS you run. Amiga magPLIP provides its own Linux
drivers, IIRC.

M> Then I could use Samba. (oh yes I

Samba is very slow even over ethernet, which is what you really should invest
in.
