12-16-93 Use of a NULL-Modem
A null-modem is not a modem, but a piece of hardware that
swaps 2/3 and 3/4 lines in your serial cable. This lets you
make a direct connect between 2 serial ports to transfer data. You can use
a special program, Laplink (commercial), Xport (sharware) which let you
control both ends from one computer, even creating new directories. You can
use your term program too. You will need (usually) to type at both
keyboards to be effective. To make the original connection one end (in
terminal mode) type ATX1D, the other end ATA. If both sides are set to the
same BPS, parity (etc) this will connect you. Then you use <PgUp> <PgDn>
keys (or your normal file menu) to transfer your files.
