This looks great! I used a crossover cable and successfully transferred a great number of files from my beige G3 tower to my Performa 6205CD -- but then I had trouble retrieving my connection to my web browser. Eventually it worked, but I had to reload my AOL software. I have been too gunshy to try it again, even though I have more files to transfer. This sounds like a perfect answer, and the user responses all seem very good. Thanks, kelly!
