I would suggest using a patch cable. It is cheap and can be bought from any PC store.

You don't need a network connection or a modem if the two PCs are at the same location. You can use a serial cable hooked up between the com ports, or you can even use a parallel cable hooked up back to back.

You will also need a software package that lets you do data transfers using a standard format between the two. For example, Hyperterm that comes with Windows can handle the back to back serial ports and offers data transfer in XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, and KERMIT format.

There are free utilities you can download from some shareware/freeware websites that willl allow you to accomplish this same thing using the parallel ports.

Of course, if the PCs are in different houses, you will need the modems and phone lines to connect the two. For data transfers, you will want something higher than 14400 baud or you will be transferring all day and it may be easier just to copy the files to a USB memory stick and "walk" it over to the other PC.

One machine would have to be set up as a dial in server, the other would actually make the call to connect. The details on how to do this depends on what OS are being used.

Get the software......PC anywhere. made for this purpose. Normally without the proper hardware, just connecting two PC's with a cable, wont work.

I'm not sure, but I think you need modems that are compatible and send and receive data at the same speed. 26K, 56K (baud rate) something like that.
