The first set are the machines that I use at work and the second set are machines that I use at school. If a common filesystem is available on any of the machines in the set I can transfer data from any of the the others in that set. Why do I ask about a common filesystem? Occasionally I collect a great deal of information and using a PPP (14.4k) connection can literally take days. I recently purchased a Jaz drive to speed this up but so far I am only able to plug it into my FreeBSD machine at school and at home. If I could plug it directly into one of the other machines (esp. the HP on my desk) that would be super. This is a question that I could surely answer by doing a little reesearch on each OS but I was hoping that someone knew off the top of their head. No, carrying a laptop around and exporting the Jaz drive over NFS is not currently an option :)
