If you have both computers on a single phone line, both can access the
internet, though not at the same time.  If you want to print something from
the computer that does not have the printer connected to it, simply print to
a file, and send it to the other as an email attachment.

copy filename lpt1

This command should print, if your printer is set to lpt1, which is the most
common setup.

> Greetings Fellow List Members!

> I am looking into getting two computers connected through a phone line
network, mostly because I think this is the cheapest way, and we don't want
to spend much money, just share printers and an internet connection. What
are the requirements for one of these networks? Will we need a Home Phone
Network Adapter for each computer, or just the host? Both computers are
running WinXP Home, and have a 56K modem. Thanks, have a nice day.
