Does anyone have or know how to get a DOS-based program for esteblishing a directcableconnection (such as Fastlinx as I once had)?? Please help me, need to save data from windows crashed machine

Summary: I have 5 words for you, "Inter Link and Inter Serv". These two programs make up DOS's equivelent of Laplink, and I might add work great, unlike 9x's Direct Cable Connection. You have to load Interln...
