PC-to-Mac-and-Back is a general purpose communications package, 
but it is best-known as a link between the IBM PC and the Mac.  
The distribution kit for this package contains a 5-1/4" floppy disk
for the PC, and a microdisk for the Mac, both of which contain 
the PC-to-Mac-and-Back program.  If I remember correctly, a cable
for connecting a PC and a Mac is also included.  Of course, the 
connection can also be done via modems.

PC-to-Mac-and-Back was formerly available from Dilithium Press in
Oregon, but they have gone out of business (not because of PC-to-
Mac-and-Back; rumor has it that this program was the only thing
making money for the company).  The package can now be obtained 
at a cost of $150.00 from its author:
