I've recently bought a serial cable at Radioshack for my old laptop running Windows 95. I've been trying to connect it to my mother's Windows 2000 system, but when I open up Incoming Connections properties on the her system, I don't see the "Communications cable between two computers" option (preferably COM1 or COM2) under Devices. Any suggestions?
