... and if it don't work, get a RAS server (just abt. $2000) connect it to the NIC and a PABX and use the modem to dial in. There's your connection. Just the same like linking a water pipe to a USB 2.
I know that was mean... Get a network interface card and set it up on the second computer...
Hi,
for easy connection between your 2 computers use the network method. You will need a network adaptor for the PC without one (appx $15) and a RJ45 crossover cable. This connects receive to transmit and does away with any need for hub - BUT it will work with only 2 PCs you cannot add any more without a hub and straight through cables.
Either buy a crossover or get one made up with a RJ45 plug on each end connected as: 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1 and 6 to 2. Ethernet cable has 4 pairs and only 2 are needed. A shortish crossover should be no more than $10.
If you hav Win98 on each PC set up a workgroup, identify it on each PC, name each PC, share drives and printers on each, use map network drives and printers and browse to locate them.
If the workgroup is set on each PC you should see the other PC's drive and its available printers.
The network route will give fastest data transport and be the most versatile. Networked PCs are often safer than serial link transfer.
Please come back if you require further info.

You could get an RJ-45 to USB convertor and connect the NIC to a USB Port on the other computer, assuming you have a USB port available.
Please, learnedone, what was wrong with multihulls suggestion.
Although following on it did give most information on the safest and fastest transfer to a novice.
