12-16-93               Use of a NULL-Modem

     A  null-modem is not a modem, but a piece of  hardware  that

swaps  2/3  and  3/4 lines in your serial cable.  This  lets  you

make a direct connect between 2 serial ports to transfer data. You can  use

a  special  program, Laplink (commercial), Xport (sharware) which  let  you

control both ends from one computer, even creating new directories. You can

use  your  term  program  too. You will need  (usually)  to  type  at  both

keyboards  to  be effective. To make the original connection  one  end  (in

terminal mode) type ATX1D, the other end ATA. If both sides are set to  the

same  BPS, parity (etc) this will connect you. Then you use  <PgUp>  <PgDn>

keys (or your normal file menu) to transfer your files.
