Do have network cards on both machines, with crossover wire. Trying to
configure (ie drivers)

Am connecting at 56k at the mo

SO - does there need to be a OS on the hard drive (i presume so) so that
network card / modem can be used? In that case the modem would need to be
Linux compatible.
Does a 2nd version of the OS go into the floppy / CD player and stay there?

Are these versions of Linux? If so does anyone have them?
No rush with the above anyway.
