Oops well thats a whopper of a blunder isn't it. Good thing I checked though
no doubt I would have found out when the plugs didn't fit.

: Alternatively just use the null modem cable and some comms software...

Hmm not entirely confident about this. I suppose I could lzx or dms the
partitions, but I don't use term enough to be happy I know what I'm doing.
( & it is about 65 megs worth of info). I suppose I could just back it up,
but since I hve the cable, I think I'll try sernet. Slow it may be but it
must be faster than backing up.
