Subject:      Setting up "Poor-Man's Network"

Is it possible to set up a "poor-man's cooperative processing network" using two
PC's running Front & Center and a null-modem cable connecting the parallel ports
of the PC's?

My ultimate goal is to test cooperative applications containing procedures using
NOMLINK, READs and WRITEs on each side.

I have attempted the obvious (READ/WRITE to PRN) and suspect that there needs to
be more hardware/software between the two machines.  Or that it simply is not
possible.

Anyone done this?
