#184892 - MS-DOS v6.22
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
Don't remember having heard about INTERLINK

Yes, it was a standard part of MS-DOS v6.22 - see, for example, http://www.pcxt-micro.com/dos-interlink.html

It was also available as "Direct Cable Connection" as a "networking" option in Windows - up to 98, I think?

but Laplink did sell program + cable to network two machines

Yes, there were a number of 3rd-party commercial products - including the Norton already mentioned.

I think MS used the same parallel cable as LapLink...?
