If you can get INTERSVR to run under NT, you can set up your DOS
machine (if it's DOS 6.x) to install INTERLNK from CONFIG.SYS, and
set both to use the parallel ports. I've found transfers by this
means to be fast and reliable, and have the added advantage of being
transparent, because the machine running INTERLNK assigns DOS drive
letters to the other machine. The instructions in DOS help should
be sufficient to enable you to set it up (again, assuming that
there's a way to get INTERSVR to run under NT).
HTH,
