I'm using two PC's (simultaneously) most of the time - I have them
tied via a serial line. This way I can transfer stuff relatively (:-)
fast (115Kbaud) using LapLink (or some similar software). It does,
however, require running the same software on both machines.
I don't want to invest in a full LAN right now, but it would be
nice if drives on one machine were accesible by the other (drives
E: & F: ? ) - hopefully both ways. Speed is not critical (as long
as >19200bps). I recall from a few years ago that some people
actually wrote small RS-232 based LAN's - doesn't seem to have caught
on ("you mean you don't want to wait 5 min. for a file transfer ?" :-) ).
Does anyone know if some software like that is (still ?) available ?
E-mail please - I will post a summary.
Thanks,
Paul.
