Actually that'll be a serial (null modem) lead :) And they're supposed
to have 5 wires, unless you don't want hardware handshaking (=faster)
Anyway you can just buy these leads for a couple of quid from maplins
etc.
Once you've got them you can use a terminal program (ncomm etc.) to
copy files, although it would be slow, and not be real networking.
If you want a network you could try Parnet, although it needs a custom
parallel cable, with slightly more then 3 wires :)
See ya :)
