1) Does anyone have any clever ideas for keeping one's files coordinated across machines? I currently have accounts on 3 FreeBSD machines (home, office, and now laptop). With two machines, I'd been using a simple script which uses find to identify files created or changed since the last "transfer." I can extend this to "transfers" to specific machines, but it seems like the kind of problem that someone would have solved in a more clever fashion. Any suggestions? 2) Is there an easy way to connect my laptop to another machine with a simple serial cable and setup a ppp or slip connection? If so, how? Thanks- Russ Murphy -- Russell D.
