Good but overpriced
This is the ususal reliable Laplink product, but expensive for what it is. The new version is faster than previous versions, so that is a plus. Downsides include not being able to use a standard USB cable or standard wireless networking. Otherwise, it works as advertized and the Amazon price is about the best.

Doesn't work well with XP
Used Laplink NT for years with good results but it did not perform with XP and new high resolution video, Ugraded to Gold Version 11.0. Was sorry. Don't think version 11.0 is XP ready. No matter how I configure ports or use manual setings this product will not work with my modern XP system and serial cable hook up. I get it going for about 10 megs of transfer and then it frezzes my computer.
Also LAPLINK 11.0 reports start up errors. I select the LAPLINK autocorrect routine and the routine reports errors corrected please restart computer. Same thing happens next time. Have email problem to LAPLINK for solutions ... no response. I'd look at some other product before I selected LAPLINK 11.0 for an XP system.

Laplink Gold 11.0 - compatible with Windows XP
Earlier versions of Laplink will not work with Windows XP. Laplink Gold 11.0 does, and works well. I primarily use it for backing up files between a laptop, home, and work computers, which only taps in to a few of this software's features. My comments focus on the file transfer capabilities.
Users familiar with previous versions will be able to immediately use Laplink 11.0 without re-educating themselves. The user interface is the same, as are most of the basic functions. There are also several means to link computers; a serial cable, a USB cable, the internet, or by modem. This gives the user substantial flexibility in dealing with their specific needs. I've done transfers by modem and serial cable; both operate smoothly. An advantage is that Laplink 11.0 works with previous most Windows versions since 3.1, so that the same software can be installed even if several computers you use have different operating systems.
I use a Hewlett-Packard 7965 at home and had problems opening a .com port. Telephone technical support is free (aside from the long distance call charges) for 30 days. Laplink support was able to diagnose improper settings of the .com ports in my HP computer, which resolved other problems I was having. For this, I award their technical support an A+.
If you need a specialty utility for file transfers and back-ups, Laplink Gold 11.0 continues to be a standard against which others are judged. ... Read more

Freedom on the Go
I have been using this product for more than a month and it is awesome. For a small monthly subscription fee I have access to all my computer files at my home computer - anywhere any time as long as I can access the internet. This product has changed the way I function as I need not constantly update my laptop with my home computer files as I basically operate from my desktop. It avoids a lot of file confusion. ...

If you're the kind of person who suffers from panic attacks when you'restuck in an airport or at a three-day self-improvement workshop without atelephone outlet to enable Internet access, QuickLink Mobile 2000 could be yoursecret lifesaver. Connect your laptop to your wireless phone, and in no timeyou'll be checking stock quotes and sports scores from anywhere, at any time.

While installation of QuickLink Mobile 2000 might be a quick and easy process,you should make sure that your phone is compatible with the program before youpurchase the software. You can verify this by going to www.ql2k.com and viewingan updated list of compatible phones. If your type of phone is on the list, youcan sign up to receive a free cable to connect your cell phone to your laptopserial port (Ours took less than a week to arrive).You might want to do this as soon as you purchase the software, so that you don't have to wait too longto get started with the application. If your type of phone is not on the list,QuickLink has a customer service number for you to call; however, it'sprobably better to find a different application, or upgrade to a data-enabledphone.

After you've configured your dial-up networking and created an account for yourwireless phone, you're ready to dial-up. After you've connected to the Internet,you can surf the Web, check e-mail, and keep on top of the day's headlines. Onefeature that we liked especially was the Wireless Internet Accelerator, whichallowed us to filter Web graphics and speed up connection times. In addition,you have the option to preview e-mail messages, so that you can read theirheaders without downloading the entire message--again, saving precious memory.The application even includes QuickLink Fax 2000, which allows you to send andreceive faxes by using your cell phone.

QuickLink Mobile 2000 also includes monitoring features to help you control yourcellular Internet usage. However, keep in mind that surfing the Web with yourcell phone can eat away at cellular time and battery life quickly. Still, ifyou're always on the go and can't live without your Internet fix, QuickLinkMobile 2000 will keep you connected when you need it the most. --GiseleToueg ... Read more
