I have 4 machines on a network with W2k on a P-IV @ 2.8ghz as the main
dude, 2 using W98SE and one with Lindows on it and a P3-500 waiting for a
HD before it gets on the network.  I've found the easiest way to copy from
one machine to the next is to use Windows Explorer, make a folder
identically named, or not, on the recieving machine and highlight the
files in the folder to be copied or use 'select all' and right clicking on
the highlighted files and move them to the new folder.

As for the 3.11 machine, I don't know much about that OS as I jumped from
DOS right into W98..
