My personal favorite method involves using a shareware program
called "StarGate" and a null-modem cable. Other than the cable, it
requires no hardware purchase. :-)
If you currently have standard modem cables for both your PB and
your PCs, you only need a "Null-Modem Adapter" which you can
get from Radio $hack or other sources. Or you can make your
own cable (it actually only requires three wires), easy if you have a
spare Mac printer cable and a DB-9 or a DB25 female
connector (depending on what your PCs need).
With StarGate, you put an "incoming" and an "outgoing" folder on
each computer connected, and anything placed in the outgoing
folder of either computer gets transferred to the other computer. It
works between a Mac and a PC, or between two Macs, or two
PCs. Simple and elegant! :-)
