I'd like to know how to go about connecting two computers (probably both
486's, but possibly a 486 and a 386) together so that I can snatch files
and programs off one and run them on the other.  I think this is called
"peer to peer networking (?)"  I have windows 95 running on one and will
probably be running Open Dos on the other, since I was always a fan of
DR-DOS in my prewindows life, and the second computer is going to start out
running only Dos apps.  I'd like to run the second computer without a hard
drive, booting from a floppy, if possible.

I'm wondering what hardware and software I'd need to do this.

ANY comments, no matter how simple, basic, or opinionated will be appreciated.
