I've gone through the Kermit website (wow, lots of stuff!) and am
considering getting Kermit to transfer files to my new PC. I have a
couple of questions, though.
The old PC is Windows 95B, and the new one is Windows XP Pro. Each PC
has a 56K modem. Can I connect the two via a simple 6-ft phone line
between the two modems for this transfer?
Would it be better to get a serial-serial null modem cable and go that
route?
Basically, I'm transferring pretty standard stuff. I.e., My Documents,
my Outlook Express messages & address book, some misc data files. Can
I zip them up and use a binary transfer to speed things up?
Since two machines are involved, does that mean I have to buy two
copies of the product?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Brad Vincent
