If we're going down this path, you could look at using the printer port,
but I haven't used them under either Linux nor Windows...  Could be
faster but probably a lot more work to setup and not as easy to support in
the long run.



A more modern option that might be an option would be to us a USB "pc
to pc" network cable.  I haven't used these either, but the
speeds should be higher than old serial.
