I love Timbuktu and have used it over our WAN to log into my Mac or
transfer files from offices all over the world with PCs and Macs. I use it
to log into my Mac from home also. We use it for file transfers because of
the connection logs and flash notes. However, I have never used it on a 386
running Win3.1.
