  26. I'm trying to transfer some large files (10Mb), on a regular basis,
  27. between two machines.  I would like to transfer the files using the
  28. parallel port.  One machine will be DOS, the other running NT (4).
  29.  
  30. Can I use Kermit to sent the files between the machines.  ie set port
  31. lpt1 doesn't work - can I set up com3 to be the parallel printer port?
  32. Any ideas or other suggestions would be much welcomed?????
  33.  
  34. Thanks,
  35.  
  36. Darren.

  38. PS I currently have Kermit v 3.15
