I would use dos apps xtree/ xtlink if you can get xtree on both machines. An alternative would be a neat little transfer app which was part of drdos many years ago. It ran over a null modem cable and had the ability to install itself on the 'slave' machine over the cable. Now if i can find my drdos disks......
