[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Linking two PCs via parallel port

awhite@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Andrew J. White) (04/29/91)

I am thinking about purchasing another computer for home use, and was
wondering if the following is possible using existing software and./or
hardware:

  A hard-wired connection, preferably between the parallel ports, of
  the PCs, through which each PC can access the other's hard drive
  as if it were its own (i.e., transparently, like a Novell networked
  drive).

I am aware of programs like X-Link, FastLynx, LapLink etc that allow
you to share files via the serial and/or parallel ports, but none of
these are transparent.

Please reply via e-mail or by posting; I will summarize if there is
interest.
