- Hmmm, LAPLINK generally means transferring stuff through the PARALLEL PORT, no?
- I seriously doubt it can get more than 5-10K/s through your serial port,
- if that. Sending stuff through the parallel port is at least 8 or 16 bits
- at a time, while the serial port gets 1 bit at a time. Normal DOS comm
- programs do NOT use the parallel port, so this is most definately apples
- and oranges.
