It appears that LXTOOLS will not work with LapLink Remote. Recall that LapLink Remote is the _only_ communications software installed on my palmtop computer. (Apparently, I cannot do something like "type com1: >foo.bar". If I could, I might've been able to download stuff the hard way.) So, I have a request to ask of you. Could you send me a copy of LapLink Remote for DOS along with a copy of kermit for DOS? In this way, I can reboot my Linux computer with DOS, run LapLink Remote with my palmtop connected, transfer kermit over to my palmtop, and then I'll be able to run kermit on my palmtop. From there, I can download anything I need. At some future date, I'll figure out how to get LXTOOLS to work somehow. Thanks.
