Thanks mike, but I have a crossover LAN cable, if you were talking about 
joining two serial ports.  I have a very screwed up mount situation on 
one computer.  Haven't been able to resolve, even with the help of two 
of the best at repairing screwed up boxes.  I am the guilty part that 
screwed them up.  I just got an email from one who has obviously read my 
new post; I think he may have the solution now.  What a guy;  never seen 
anyone with such tenacity and patience.  I will check the lead out.  
Thanks friend.
