Re: Help with Laplink for WIndows Needed

My impression (first and second hand) is that the cheap and fast
way to transfer information is to buy a null-modem cable (around $8)
to use with the parallel ports.  A set of "Laplink cables" will
include one of these and a 2x1 serial cable (DB9 and DB25 on one
end, DB9 on the other) for about $20.  Alternatively, generic laplink cables
sometimes come as 2x2 so you can also transfer easily between two
desktops and should cost something under $10.  Having both can be
useful if you'd like to have something which doesn't occupy the 
printer port on your desktop machine and that you can leave attached
most of the time, with the option of using the printer port when
you're transferring in volume.
