Laplink network?

Can I set up a local network between my old 98SE computer and my XP
computer using a Laplink cable connected to the parallel ports?
If so, where would I find detailed guidance on how to do that?

I only need this occasionally to transfer a file, so it doesn't
matter if it's slow.

Thanks. I'll give it a try, but that article implies that both
computers need to be running XP. My memory of DCC in 98SE is that it
uses Netbeui, which isn't available on my XP computer. Well, anyway,
I'll see what happens.

If necessary, NetBEUI can be installed from the WinXP CD. It isn't
installed by default in WinXP, but it is supported.
