Hi Henry,
I think the transmission via Null Modem Cable is too slow to use it for
transmitting a few hundred MBs. Thats even difficult if you use the same as much
faster Parallel Cable (similar to Null-Modem-Cable). Here you can use a programm
like Windows Commander which helps to transmit the files. But Í think, this
would work.
