I was wondering if you could connect 2 computers together in a network configuration using a Modem and phone cord instead of a NIC and eithernet cable. I want to transfer files from an old Packard Bell 333mhz Celeron running Windows 98 to a Dell 1.6Ghz Pentium 4 running WinXP (thought it was time to upgrade to 21st century technology ). Unfortunately, neither have a NIC and the Older computer does not have a CD-R. Several of the files I need to move are too large to fit on a floppy (even after being zipped) and I don't want to have to go to the expense of getting a home networking Kit since I probably will not be keeping the old system. If the Modem to Modem connection is not possible could I have some suggestions on how to transfer the files. Thanks in advance
