        Hi,
                I was backing up some data off an old PC using that horrible M$ direct
cable connection thing, and it led me to wondering, could I use linux to do
it? I have RH 5.2 on one machine, and RH6.2 on the other, they are hooked
up by a standard serial cable.
                I was thinking it might be a bit easier than having to deal with windows...

                        Thanks,
                                Alex
