Thanks, Sam!
I thought that might be an option, but the unHELPful text is almost
worthless. It says, for example, "Type a destination..." But, in the
HELP [not for the helpless], it simply repeats, "Enter a
destination"... What is a 'destination'? Is it a dotted-quad? An
Internet Name? Some UserName that I have to set up somewhere? Where
does it come from???? <:-(
Just for clarifiecation: While these systems are on the same LAN, they
are not 'connected' in any way. No Peer. No sharing of anything;
except, of course, the link to the DSL to the Internet.
