I recently posted a question about the best way to connect macs
to IBMs.  I was swamped with requests for any information obtained
although I was supplied with relatively little information.  The
most common advice was to set up a TOPS system, followed by MacLink
and modem-to-modem connection (the cheapest way) using Red-Ryder/Procomm
or other PD communications packages.  Interested persons should look
at September's MacUser, which features a section on connectivity (a 
nice, new buzzword!).  Does anyone envision the day when you slip your
3 1/2" diskette into either machine and it will read the information which
is appropriate (i.e. standard formatting).  Is such a thing possible? Is
such a thing desirable?
