A zero-slot LAN is a local-area network (LAN) that uses existing serial and/or parallel communication ports on the computers in the network instead of requiring network interface cards (NICs) that would occupy an expansion slot.

Advantages

It leads to transmitting between computers over a serial or parallel port, thus freeing up an expansion slot normally used by LAN cards (NICs).

Disadvantages

Zero-slot LANs are typically slower than LANS that use NICs and are limited to two or three network nodes.
