I've done this twice, once between a win3.1/DOS6.11 machine and a MAC-SE
and once between a win95 machine and a DOS5-only PC. In both cases I
used a RS-232 connection with a null-modem adaptor. (For the MAC I
purchased the little wire-it-yourself RS232 ends into which you plug
a modular telephone-like cord (8-wire). For the DOS5 PC I bought
a premanufacured cable from a local electronics/computer discount store.)
For the MAC-SE transfers I used MS-DOS kermit on the PC side and the
builtin VersaTerm kermit support on the MAC side. Point the PC kermit
at the correct COM port, set compatible speed and flow control, and
put in in server mode. On the MAC side set speed and flow control,
and get or put the desired files.
For the DOS5 transfers I used MS-DOS kermit on the PC side and the built-in
win-95 Hyperterminal on the other. Again set compatible speeds and flow
controls, put the DOS5 side in server mode and let 'em rip.
Batch transfers work in both cases, but I haven't experimented with
kermit scripting and auto-download modes due to infrequency of use.
