Steve:

I worked in IT some years back, and we used another similar product called
“Fastlynxâ€, which you can check out on:

www.sewelldirect.com

When the company went with Fastlynx, we looked at others, including Laplink
and BrooklynBridge. Recently I had to do file transfers at my small business,
and got the updated Fastlynx because:

- We had to transfer files from ANCIENT DOS machines running on DOS 4.01,
and we.can install a DOS copy of FASTLYNX on the floppy of the DOS machine,
run Windows on the newer machine, and the two will communicate. Looked at the
Laplink site and not sure if Laplink can do this. And if the floppy is
broken, which had happened on another occasion, there’s a procedure using a
DOS command (forgot what it is as it’s been so long) on both ends to transfer
the files in. We still use some ancient DOS machines and we found Fastlynx
the most convenient way of transferring data into it.

-Fastlynx support parallel, serial, USB cable connections, and many old
machines have serial ports, no USB, and I often find the parallel works, and
serial doesn’t or visa versa, so having both is useful. Laplink didn’t
mention serial cable.

If Fastlynx supports DOS, and Laplink does not, then it’s a nice added
feature if you don’t have to support DOS as we do. Being able to work with
DOS is our primary requirement.

But if its simple XP to XP communications, then it can be done directly
within windows on the two machines just with cabling.
 
Thanks for the reply. I am primarily interested in the ability to move
applications from one PC to another.

Hi Steve:

PCmover is the only program on the market today that actually moves
applications along with settings and files. Yes, it does work and works
very well. People are amazed on how easy it makes moving into your new
PC. You should also know that all Laplink products come with a 30 day
refund policy if you are not happy with any of our products.
