Subject: BD-HP computer connection to WIN95

I am in the process of upgrading the PC in the lab to WIN95. In the
past we have used Facsnet to connect with a PC for file transfers. On
the PC side we use Fusion software. This has worked reasonably well
but I have my concerns about how it would work with WIN95. I have
found it somewhat hazardous in that it is possible to corrupt the PC
drive if the computer is not immediately rebooted after transfer.
Is there a better way to do it? I looked into the direct wire
connection that Verity offers but it would mean that we would have to
rename all our files before transfer. Our data is stored in LIF
format on 20MB Bernoulli drives.
