Mike, you will need a "null modem cable" to do this, it is slower than molasses but faster than by floppy (I don't recommend floppy to even my adversaries ;>).

There are instructions here http://www.computing.net/dos/wwwboard/forum/14896.html

Best of luck to you, I'm sure you will succeed!

I have a old note book with a parallel and a serial port present. The Windows
98 present in the notebook is corrupted and I was advised to reinstall the
system from the DOS mode. My  problem is that the CD ROM is not working and it
is not available in the market. The only option now is to use the serial port
from another computer, but i have no idea how . can anyone help me out there.
Thanks.
