There was a program I used for serial port sharing
back around 1986 or so. It was a DOS TSR. You'd run
the "host" TSR on the machine with the port(s) to
share, and the other machines would run client
TSR's. I just looked, and I don't seem to have it,
or anything that seems to jog my memory.
Unfortunately, I don't recall it's name.
It's part of DOS 4.0 and up...
Interlnk.exe
and
Intersvr.exe
I don't remember exactly how to do it.
One of the two programs goes into the config.sys of
it's computer, and the other is run from a DOS prompt.
I always found Laplink easier for file transfer,
though I used this method to share my desktop floppy
with my laptop that didn't have one.
