I used to be able to print a file from the W98SE to the Canon i550 (which
is set up on the XPP)....  I'll have to give it a try out again, sometime
soon.

Seems to me, I recall a vague message that WfW311 requires SHARE.EXE to be
loaded for networking...  Can you or anyone else provide more details?  I'd
also like to know if SHARE can be unloaded when I quit Windows because it
conflicts with FrontDoor...

I can add a "send to W98SE" to the Send To list?

My router is _normally_ 24/7 also, but "sh#t happens"....  :-))

I decided I couldn't wait -- I installed it on the XPP.  Atomic Clock Synch
requires port 13 and I can see I'm going to have to get involved with the
rules....

           Cheers ... Gerald
