Hello,

I want to connect my computers to each other. In order to do so, I
will need to learn how. I AM WILLING TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH -- I'm not
asking for any quick and lazy solutions. But I need to know what terms
to look under.

Would someone please tell me the correct terms for the following tasks?

1. reading and writing to a file on the other machine (file sharing?)
2. two computers both connect to internet at the same time, using one
computer's modem
3. remote power up / shutdown
4. view each other's screens
5. one computer runs Win98SE; the other runs both Win98SE and SuSE
Linux; and I want the machines to talk to each other, regardless of OS.
6. instant messaging to the user on the other machine

Thank you very much!
