                       Use of a NULL-Modem

     A  null-modem is not a modem, but a piece of  hardware  that

swaps  2/3  and  3/4 lines in your serial cable.  This  lets  you

connect  2 serial ports directly to transfer data. You can use  a

special program, Laplink (commercial), Xport (sharware) which let

you  control  both  ends from one  computer,  even  creating  new

directories.  You  can use your term program too. You  will  need

(usually) to type at both keyboards to be effective. To make  the

original  connection one end (in terminal mode) type  ATX1D,  the

other  end  ATA. If both sides are set to the  same  BPS,  parity

(etc) this will connect you. Then you use <PgUp> <PgDn> keys  (or

your normal file menu) to transfer your files.
