Well... If it were me, I'd just hook the things
together modem to modem (or
serial port to serial port as the case may be) and send everything over
using terminal software. Procomm was what I used on my olde '286 and XT;
Hyperterminal for my Pentium machine.
I'd do the ethernet solution. You don't really need an 8-bit ethernet card,
NE2000 cards are supposed to work in 8-bit mode, too.
Then you'd need some kind of networking protocol and drivers. Most DOS network
packages use packet drivers, which are contained in the crynwr package
(ftp://ftp.crynwr.com/drivers/pktd11.zip) or supplied with your card.
Since my network is pure TCP/IP (and occasional Appletalk), I use the WATTCP
stack for DOS.
Some more DOS/Windows-based solution might be preferable in this case, though,
but that's not my fort?.
