If you have a null modem cable you *should* be able to connect 2
computers (assuming you have terminal software on both sides). A null
modem cable is a serial cable with a few of the wires reversed on one
end so that the output of one becomes the input of another. Then, you
tell the first computer to dial a 1 (you may have to disable dial-tone
detection) you then tell the second computer to answer. They should
handshake and then you can transfer files between them. If it worked for
my Commodore 64 it should work on a real computer <g>. I don't have a
Mac (yet), but I dont see why it wouldn't work.
