   I am having trouble transerring files between a laptop and my PC.
Both have hard drives and 2400 baud modems, but different floppy disk
sizes.  I would like to transfer files through their modems.  I tried
using PC-Remote (gotten through FTP) on both machines and procomm and
smartcomm, but to no avail.  All of the programs expect to make a phone
call, where I am trying to connect the machines directly (without going
through the telephone company).
   I have a copy of PC-Hooker, which is supposed to let you transfer
files through serial ports, but I don't have the cable or the free port.
I would oike to find a way to use the modems.  Any ideas?
