Hi, Karen,
If you use a serial transfer for the files, the baud rates should be the
same on both machines. Select the fastest baud rate you can get reliably,
with the fewest errors, on the slower of the two machines.
As I mentioned in my post to the question on the DOS-Discuss list, a
better solution is to use interlnk.exe invoked as a device in Config.Sys
on the machine with the fastest processor; and intersvr.exe, invoked from
the command line at the DOS prompt, on the slower machine; and then use
any DOS-based copy program, such as DOS's own xcopy.exe with directory
structure commands to do the file transfer.
A parallel port connection is much faster and easier than a serial port
connection using nullmodem serial cables.
Make sure you have enough drive letters on the interlnk.exe -running
machine to accommodate the new drive letters you'll get by having the disk
drives of the intersvr.exe -running machine added to the drive list of the
controlling, interlnk.exe -running machine.
For a quick list of commands, arguments, and parameters for either
interlnk.exe or intersvr.exe , programs supplied free with either MS- or
PC-DOS later than 5.0, just type:
interlnk /?
or:
intersvr /?
to invoke the DOS Help screens for those programs.
