buying and installing NIC and using a peer cable
would be the best,
but you can try PLIP, I think you will need
a laplink cable, which any cable maker can
do, the cable has two 25 pin connectors
with all pins connected straight, other than
10 and 1 (i think), these are interchanged
ie 1 is connected to 10 and 10 connected to 1
1<--------------->10
2------------------2

10 <-------------->1
or you can SLIP, with null modem cable,
here using 25 pin connectors, you need
pin 4 connected to 5 and 5 is connected to
4
1 ------------ 1
2 ------------ 2
3 ------------ 3
4 ------------ 5
5 ------------ 4
