 MK> Hey Charles!

 CB>> im actually quite partial to zmodem8k and used to do a lot with

That would be the winner if something like graphics

oh for sure, scp/rsync et al are the way to go in modern times.... unless of
course the pc you're working on is a p150 with 48 meg of ram and only has irda
or a serial port :D 

then i go back to good ol' laplink and a parallel cable or if it's from my
main pc, a serial cable.

 CB>> saved my old man and me multiple 4+ hour (one way) drives just to
 CB>> put a disk in and copy a new binary LOL

 MK> At that time had access to multiple remote 9-track tape drives. They were
roughly a half hour walk from where I lived at the

what passed for a PC back then. However I could

such made living so close extremely attractive at

of Linux later on brought it all together.

yea i cut my teeth on SCO Xenix running on a compaq deskpro 386 eith eisa
cards and all the other good stuff.

the days of having to put a disk in and boot just to do a cmos bios change
sucked... in fact, i just found an old disk case
of my dads which has a bunch of the config disks in for compaqs... need to get
around to imaging them.


 CB>> sealink version for SCO Openserver and that helped tremendously
 MK> I never played with SCO. Solaris is where I cut my unix teeth ... in a
time and a land far, far away.

at the time i never got on with solaris, even though it was similar it was
just that much different from *NIX to be a pita

I still have a xenix and an OS507 vm sitting here that i play with at times. :D
