Specifying the order of drives
 
Interlnk redirects drives in the order you specify. The first server drive
specified is redirected to the first available client drive, the second
server drive specified is redirected to the second available client drive,
and so forth.
 
Redirected devices
 
Interlnk does not redirect network drives, CD-ROM drives, or any other
device that uses a redirection interface.
 
Remote copy procedure
 
To copy Interlnk files from one computer to another by using the /RCOPY
switch, you must connect the 7-wire, null-modem serial cable to the
computers' serial ports.
 
Using a serial mouse with Microsoft Windows
 
If you are using a serial mouse with Microsoft Windows and you start the
Interlnk server while Windows is running, you need to specify either the
/LPT switch or a /COM switch that designates a COM port other than the one
the mouse is using. For example, if the serial mouse uses COM1 and you are
using a parallel connection, specify the /LPT switch to prevent Interlnk
from scanning all COM ports.
 
Using Interlnk in a task-switching or multitasking environment
 
If you start the Interlnk server in a task-switching or multitasking
environment, task switching and key combinations that switch you out of your
current task are disabled. To restore these functions, quit the server.
