Personally, I would rather pick up a couple of real cheap NE2000 Ethernet
cards for around $20ea ($10us) and use those rather than play with a Serial or 
Parallel link. A Serial port would provide about 5KByte/sec throughput, a
parallel port about 25KByte/sec throughput, an NE2000 would provide at least
250KByte/sec and probably more like 500Kb/Sec... In the networking world, the
difference in performance is VERY noticeable, especially when you use a rather 
"chatty" protocol such as NETBIOS.

Cheers..............pk.
