Introducing the Software 2-5
LapLink
LapLink helps you stay in touch with your home office
system or get in touch with other systems through the infra-
red port, a modem, network, or cable. Use LapLink to
transfer files on a remote system, or exchange written in-
formation with another user on a remote system. LapLink
even bridges the communication gap between Windows
3.11 and Windows 95 systems.
LapLink offers the following features:
File Transfer — lets you move or copy files between
computers. To speed file transfer, LapLink compares
files being updated and transfers only the changed in-
formation.
Remote Control — gives you access and control over a
remote computer. Activity you perform on a system,
such as keystrokes, file access and change, and program
execution, actually occurs on the remote system.
Chat — provides a way for you to exchange informa-
tion, instructions, or other messages with a user at a re-
mote computer.
LapLink software must be loaded on both the sending
(local) and receiving (remote) system for communication
between them to work properly.
