To use mbbrutman's mTCP to put you machine on a TCP/IP network you are going to need an 8 bit ISA network card for ethernet (or a pocket ethernet adapter for the parallel port -- I bet you are already scanning eBay for those...). Meanwhile, you can transfer files in and out of your IBM XT using Microsoft's INTERLNK.EXE and INTERSVR.EXE, which are the client and server programs to send/receive files through the serial port, for which you only need to find a null modem serial cable (of course, getting at least one of those two programs inside your IBM XT in the first place is going to be a catch-22 situation, but hey, that's the funny part...).The disk is 10MB; is there any easy way to copy software over to this machine? (I don't have another desktop with a 5 1/4" floppy drive)
