  21. Why don't you try to connect your 2 computers directly with a serial cable (3 wire RS232)? 
  22.  
  23. To do that you will just need an RS232 interface for your commodore and you can build it by yourself. The schematic for that could be found at this address:

  25. ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/CBM/documents/rs232.txt
  26.  
  27. Then you will just have to get a communication program (some are free).
  28.  
  29. Have a good time.
