	I hit the same problems with mailboxes.  Have you taken a look
	at rsync ?  It's ok at file level, between two machines, when
	you consider that only one set of files is updated at a time
	(the rsync master will overwrite changes on the destination).

	Yes, use a serial cable and setup a ppp connection :-)

	Or use PLIP (// port) -- see the handbook.
