The baud rate (max. 115,200) and HW handshake (default setting) are set in this mask. If you are able to transmit data from one PC to the other, proceed now to the second step.

2.Set direct cable connection parameters

Exit the terminal program at one of the PCs. Select Settings > Control Panel in the Start list under Win95 to open the Control Panel window. Click the System icon (you should now see the System Properties window). Select the Device Manager tab. This folder contains a Modem icon;

double-click this icon to expand the branch. The setting Null- modem cable at COMx should be available. Select the ap- propriate COM port for your configuration and double-click it to open a further subfolder.
