You can also use 'Direct Cable Connection' for serial or parallel
connection of two computers. The cables are easy to make, and a lot
faster than using modems.

This turned out to be the best way to get 'er done. **** the modems;
turns out I already had the perfect cable in my "box o'snakes", a weird
null-modem cable (by Belkin) with *two* sets of connectors on each end
(DB-9 and DB-25). Was easily able to get things cranked up to 115200 and
xfer files with HyperTerminal.
