Hello. I am looking for a Windows program that could transfer files from my IBM PC 750 running Windows 95 to my HP Pavilion P6820 running Windows 7 via a serial lapLink cable. I have tried LapLink 3 and it did run on my Windows 7 machine but the program kept encountering timeout errors and because of that? The files arrived on my HP a bit corrupted. Meaning I would have to manually fix every files with an hex editor once the transfer would be complete... I am guessing the program encounters these timeout errors because of how much faster the HP is compared to the IBM (100-somethingMHz Pentium 1 CPU to 3300MHz Pentium E6800...)? Anyway even if LapLink 3 worked flawlessly it is a DOS program and thus does not support long filenames (yes this is important). So I am looking for a similar program that would support long filenames, would run on both Windows 95 and 7 and would have a way to deal with timeout errors so I don't end up with corrupted files?
