simple answer is Yes.
You can open up hyperterminal and allocate LPT1 as you com port and you should be able to see the other machine ( transfer times are slow).
The better option would be to network the 2 machines using a crossover cable and assigning network address's to the network cards...hell of alot faster for data transfer)
