Ron, There is a DR-DOS program, FILELINK, that will transfer files between computers thru either the serial or parallel ports. Also, M$-DOS 6.22 has their version of FILELINK that they call, IIRC, INTERLNK (I will have to wait until I get to my 6.22 machine tonight to verify).
When I wanted to move my files from my desktop to a laptop, I used FILELINK to move them thru the serial port. I didn't have any success in moving the files thru the parallel port, although that would be faster. Both machines must have the same version of FILELINK and must be close enough so that you can hit keys on both machines within a reasonable amount of time. There are (were) also a number of programs on SIMTEL that would do the same thing. Also, I believe that PC-Anywhere, as well as LapLink, will do the same thing. There is also a DOS freeware program, PCREMOTE (came with PC Magazine's, "DOS Power Tools," 2nd Edition) that will transfer files thru a modem or let you operate a remote computer from your home.
