Configuring a direct connection on a remote
If the host and remote computers are nearby, you can connect the two computers
directly using a null cable. A direct connection is typically faster than a modem
connection, especially if you want to transfer large files. Direct connections require
a serial (COM) port and a null serial cable.
For more information about finding an available port on your computer, see the
documentation for your operating system.
