HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A SECOND HP 95LX?

1. 1. With the Connectivity Pack, two serial cables, a gender bender and a null modem adapter you can "add" the disk space on your 2nd unit to your primary unit. Cable your units together using the hardware described (or solder two serial cables together). Run DCS95 on your second unit and DC95 on your primary unit. Voila! I have two batch files for this: the first turns on the serial port, runs DC95 and adds the new drives to my search path (SET PATH=). The second file removes DC95 (DC95/U), turns off the serial port and restores my path.
2. 2. Use COMMO (ON DISK ICON), MostHost and a modem to turn your 2nd unit into a small (really small) BBS. Then you can call it to save and retrieve files and messages. COMMO and MostHost are shareware.
3. 3. Use the 2nd unit to control your house using the serial port. Contact: Home Automation Labs in Atlanta, GA or Alpha Products for suggestions on this.
4. 4. Add a fax/modem and printer to your 2nd unit and leave it at home as a small fax machine.
