[comp.sys.mac.comm] Mac to Mac direct connect thru printer port?

jongminp@cae.wisc.edu (Jong-Min Park) (02/27/91)

I'm sure this has been discussed before so please forgive me
if I missed it, but is it possible to connect two Macs thru
the printer port and transfer files, etc.?

I have a Imagewriter II printer cable that I can connect to
the other computer. Would there be any problems with signal
conflicts (do I need any special cable)? Can I use the cable
for modem port connections too?

Any software for transferring files (is MacKermit sufficient)
fast thru printer port up to the maximum rate, not just
57200 baud?
