    I have been able to give my wife's XP access to HER account on my BL2 and 
BL3 installations.
We have four computers hooked up to the ADSL modem, which allots 192.168.1.2 
- 5 IP numbers to each machine.
I run my pure-ftpd server on either the BL2 or BL3 setup (they are on 
different partitions on the same machine) and my wife uses a dual-pane ftp 
client, and logs in to her own account from the XP. If I want to pass files 
to her, as root I put them into her /home/* directory. To get files from the 
XP to me, she puts them into her directory on my machine and I collect them 
from there. It was extremely easy to set up.  But it has to be done from the 
XP. I cannot access her file system, so I have to run the server.  I guess 
the same thing could be done with the httpd server and a browser.

   Or a collection of cards.
