John C. Dvorak - Inside Track

Genuinely Interesting Software Dept.: It's from Trans Digital Corp. (14437 Catalina, San Leandro, CA 94577); and it's called TRANS. Using a patented write-back-engine, this is unquestionably the fastest computer-to-computer file transfer program you can find. If you hook two 386s together, then expect to transfer about 4 megabytes a minute. Faster machines will work even better, and the cable length can be 50 feet or more. It's pretty phenomenal. With DESQview you can have the process running in parallel to multiple machines. Sounds like a great cheap mininetwork, if you ask me. It requires a special provided cable and uses the parallel port in an unusual way. This technology could easily become the performance standard for people needing to hook a few machines together or for laptop users needing to plug into their desktop. It's a marvel and cost only $129. Highly recommended.
