I want to connect 2 PC's in as simple a way as possible.
Does any one have any advice on the best way to do this?
I have in mind that I can connect a cable to the serial
port on each machine.  Where does one get the appropriate
cable and connectors? Are there any problems that might
arise with this?  How far apart can the PC's be? Is 100 ft
too far?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.
