I too share your interest. It's sort of a morbid curiosity. What next,
a uucp link between XP and Linux? I suppose PPP wouldn't be too bad.
If I were in a hurry and didn't want to mess with networking, I'd
probably fire up Kermit or something similar on each end.

While our 'local' Richard might be described as being out in east
county, our somewhat more remote Richard has been described as being
'east of Estacada'. It's a rather long drive, and the TriMet service
area doesn't cover Missouri, which is where 'remote' Richard lives.
