RE: [LUG] Cable to cable connection



Well I managed to get minicom and hyperterminal to chat quite nicely, set
the baud rate high and you should be able to transfer files quite quickly.
Other alternatives might be a USB-to-USB cable with the relevant linux stuff
installed, not sure how difficult this would be. Let us all know how it
went.
