You might consider a program FTPable as webnt255.zip, available on simtel
and mirrors in the <MSDOS.NETWORK> directory.

It allows you to network two PCs via a null-modem cable.  In this way, you
ought to be able to use one computer normally, while the other used DOS
copy, xcopy, etc., to move files about.

I haven't actually used the software, (I need to put together/buy myself a
9-pin null modem) but it looks good.
