I need to transfer files in the 4 to 5 mb range from a
Windows 3.1 pc to a Windows XP Professsional pc. There is
no internet or e-mail connection where these computers are
located. Both computers have floppy drives, parallel
ports, and serial ports. I tried without luck using the
Microsoft Backup program on the Windows 3.1 machine to
transfer to the XP Backup program. I have read that using
a null modem serial cable might do the job or a parallel
cable between the computers. Any suggestions?
