    Well, imho the most straightforward (excluding Win95 dcc, if
 that could be so called) is DOS 6 InterLink.  Free in DOS 6, but
 runs on almost any DOS.  Is a remote-file-access system. which is
 more flexible than LapLink, which is a file-copying system.
 PcAnywhere is a remote-control system, therefore difficult to
 combine the two systems' disks under.

    In any case, the cable is a Laplink / InterLink cable.  They
 come in two types - parallel and serial.  Parallel is several times
 faster than even fastest serial.
