You could use a null modem cable to set up either slip or ppp between the
two machines. I tried, but was unable, to have both dial-up networking
(modem) and another slip running simultaneously on a Win95 machine,
however. With 16550 UARTs, 115.2 kb is possible. Another possibility
would be plip, if there is a suitable Win95 driver for the parallel port
(I don't know if it is supported by the install disks).
