How:
[Needed]
First, make sure both computers have a modem.
Second, open HyperTerminal on both systems!!
[Tutorial]
Step 1 - Run phone wire to both computers using their line-out slots (if available)
Step 2 - On the system 'dialing' out (either one works btw), execute the following quotes:
"ATZ" (reset modem)
"ATX1" (dials faster, skiping looking for a carrier signal before dialing!)
"ATD1" (tells modem to dial the number 1)
You should hear a little beep as the computer dials the digit '1'
Step 3 - Answer the call quickly on computer #2,
"ATA" (answer call)
Step 4 - Should be a lot of hissing and its all connected now! Nice, and direct wiring with nothing else needed! Send your files and ... leave it for hours on end.
Troubleshooting notes:
If you see no text when you type in HyperTerminal, type the following: "ATE1" (echoing typing on).
