- Since PS/2's come with serial ports, you could do something simple like
- getting LAPLINK (or any software similar to it....there are hundreds of them
- around....even free/shareware) and then get a NULL-MODEM cable. That way you
- would be transfering at the cable/serial port speed and not concerned about
- modems/phone lines/etc.
-
- In fact, if you decide to get LAPLINK (I think the company is called Traveling
- Software), they will sell you a null-modem cable, too. Just tell them the
- machine type. They should know what you need.
