You can connect the two conputers either through their parallel or serial
ports (parallel is faster and so preferred). Both require (different)
special cables. The null modem cable is used with the serial ports, I forget
the correct technical term for the parrallel one but it is often called a
laplink cable. You can connect between any combination of Win95, Win98 and
WinME, I think Win2000 should also be Ok but I don't have personal
experience. You may also have to install Direct Cable Connection from the
Windows CD if it wasn't installed originally.
