OK , now that i've got a wireless link between my old laptop, running
win95 and my desktop, hows about some suggestion for how to remotely
control the desktop from the laptop. The laptop's only got a 486 cpu
so I can't upgrade the operating system. Maybe an older version of
pcanywhere? regards Dave

Hi
I never tried it with Win95, so YMMV.

If your desktop has XP installed, you can use Microsoft Remote Desktop client
on W95 and access your desktop from your laptop:
