  Didn't get across what I meant - I mean, I walk up to your Linux
machine with my Dos-based wearable, or someone else walks up with a
Win95 based wearable, and we can pass data back and forth, between Dos &
Linux machines, not whether two Linux boxes can communicate.  OTOH,
ZModem would probably suffice, and it's pretty universal on most
well-put-together boxes, I suspect.

  I do the same with my PC110, am getting a 340Mb Flash with my 3rd
PC110, so may sell the pair of 175 Mb type 2 flash'es I have.  Should be
even nicer to have 340 Mb + the 48 Mb CF (I think I'll give that to
Robin instead of the 40Mb HDD she's running in her PC110, & stick a 64
Mb Lexar in there, for now.)  Still need to get a display, though, if
only Mono VGA existed...
