[olug] A non network network?

[Craig Wolf]

I will have to agree with the first suggestion: if they are close, a
wired nic in each with a private subnet.  You can get a Realtek based
NIC for about $8 and a crossover cable can be bought (If you are not
good at making them) for $10-20 so total H/W cost $36 max plus an hour
or less of your time.

If we're going down this path, you could look at using the printer port,
but I haven't used them under either Linux nor Windows...  Could be
faster but probably a lot more work to setup and not as easy to support
in
the long run.



A more modern option that might be an option would be to us a USB "pc
to pc" network cable.  I haven't used these either, but the
speeds should be higher than old serial.
