- You might consider a program FTPable as webnt255.zip, available on simtel
- and mirrors in the <MSDOS.NETWORK> directory.
-
- It allows you to network two PCs via a null-modem cable. In this way, you
- ought to be able to use one computer normally, while the other used DOS
- copy, xcopy, etc., to move files about.
-
- I haven't actually used the software, (I need to put together/buy myself a
- 9-pin null modem) but it looks good.
