DIRECT PARALLEL CONNECTION
Can I connect 1 XP Pro PC (Guest) to 1 Win98 Original (Host) using direct
Parallel connection. I know I can use a Serial connection, but Parallel is apparently faster? Thanks for any assistance. DeeDee

I'm so glad I found this thread -- I can't seem to install the DCC as both
your and the instructions I looked up have indicated. I put in the sytem disc to get the file, and it can't find it on the system disc. Do you have any suggestions?
