I should tell you that in a box somewhere I have a PCMIA 50 something
modem that I bought and works with my thinkpad but being slow I can only
use it for dialup on internet provider and i have highspeed so it is
useless but is there a way to use the pcmia 50 something modem to
transfer files to another computer. I don't care how slow it is because
it is only a 1.2 gig harddive which is enough to be a problem for
getting stuff off but not a problem for a slow process. I know I am not
using the proper terms but I know you will understand what i am saying
because I can't remember the proper words in some cases.

a humble thank you for any ideas


You can use dial up networking locally (ie straight out of the serial
port without a modem) using one of the null modem drivers downloadable
here.
