Toshiba T2100, 486SX @ 25MHz, 12Mb RAM, 250Mb HDD, monochrome display. Got it few years ago, installed Win 95 on it, then floppy disk drive died and I haven't really used it since then. Luckily I installed DCC and TCP/IP stack before the floppy died. Bought a serial null modem cable and USB to...

Hi everyone, I've got an old Toshiba T2100 laptop, onto which I've installed Windows 95. It has both serial and parallel ports and I'm trying to set up direct cable connection, but not having any luck so far. I have two host machines that I tried using, one is a Sony Vaio laptop running...
