Default How connect two EPP ports to "talk" between them?

Simply using google to find a laplink parallel cable is quick, too.

Of course, even LapLink's "parallel" cable only transfers 4 bits
at a time vs. the 8-bits that are possible on an EPP port.

And LapLink does NOT run in the background (as does RIFS - Remote
Installable File Server, which, alas, uses a serial port and is
thus also much slower than a fully parallel port.)

I find it interesting: lots of people have suggested I do something
ELSE, but no one has answered the question itself. Obviously I
posted my question in the wrong newsgroups! Oh, well; nothing
ventured, nothing gained (and only a little time lost).
