Thread-topic: [PCTECH] Backup data from a laptop

Try a search for LapLink.  There are clones that I think are free, and I think 
the cable is a typical serial cable with a null modem.  LapLink was a package 
that let you attach a cable to the serial ports of two computers (your laptop 
and desk PC for instance) and you'd run LapLink on one machine and it would 
auto-install on the other machine and you could drag & drop files from one to 
the other.

In a pinch you could make up a serial cable with some twisted pair and a couple 
of DB9 connectors.
