If the computer to which you want to connect is nearby, you can connect the two
computers directly by using an appropriate cable for your port. Direct connections
require either a parallel (LPT) or a serial (COM) port. To use a parallel connection,
you must configure the parallel port in the BIOS for bi-directional operations and
use a bi-directional, null parallel cable. Serial connections on Windows XP/2003
Server/2000/NT require an available COM port and a serial null cable.
For direct connections, the settings on both computers must match.
Table 3-4 includes information about serial and parallel port settings.
