How to use Interlnk, Intersvr, and Qbasic commands

interlnk Start the Simple Network Client

[Applicable occasions] If there are two computers that can be connected to intersvr to form a simple network, this is very good
Used commands, but not often

[Usage] DOS has added network support functions,
It can enable two computers to connect through parallel or serial port lines to form a simple network.
Using interlnk A sentence must be added to it:
 device=c:\dos\interlnk 
Both ends of the parallel wire should be 25-pin male connectors. The connection between the needles is as follows: Corresponding
 p2------------------------p15 
 p3------------------------p13 
 p4------------------------p12 
p5-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p6-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 p15-----------------------p2 
 p13-----------------------p3 
 p12-----------------------p4 
 p10-----------------------p5 
 p11-----------------------p6 
p25----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

intersvr /lpt:1 Start the server and use lpt1 port as the data transmission port.

intersvr /com:1 Start the server and use com1 port as the data transmission port

The parameters are also x baud: b v rcopy  (see interlnk)
