Anybody got a DOS utility to link 2 PCs via USB ports?

No, this is not a w2k question. This is a boot on DOS and xfer files to a laptop with broke CD question. And, yes I have laplink and an LPT to LPT cable but that takes half of forever.

Half of forever is still shorter than never.

The problem is the lack of support for USB in DOS.

Maybe a better solution would be to install network adapters and use ethernet. At least there is support for networking in DOS and Windows.

w-f,

Exactly right, of course.

I'll go look for a PCMDIC NIC with DOS drivers.
