     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.
