I alway preferred to use Norton Commander to transfer files between
DOS systems. I especially liked the feature where you could install
Norton Commander on the "slave" computer over the serial link using
the standard DOS copy command. It could also use a parallel link to
transfer files, but not to install nc on the "slave" machine. You
could control everything from the "master" machine once you had the
connection established.
