Rich,

   Er, no. They're the same physical box. I don't know if there's a 'ping' in
win98. I used to be able to print from a win98 application and move files
back and forth between the two systems.

   Nope. That's another physical host.

   I do not have Internet Exploder installed (or visible, whichever came
first) because there are fewer than a handful of old, windows-only apps that
I need to occasionally access.

   Responding to you is so symmetrical!

Thanks,

Rich
