You should use pppd to define a connection between the two computers, then normal TCP/IP networking (telnet, ftp, http, NFS, SMB etc) will work without any programming.
The MAX232 IC is used in serial communication to convert signals between TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels and RS-232 voltage levels, which are necessary for communication between microcontrollers and serial devices like computers or modems. It enables reliable data transmission over longer distances by ensuring that the signal levels meet the RS-232 standard, which defines the voltage levels for logical high and low. Additionally, the MAX232 can drive multiple receivers, making it a versatile choice for many serial communication applications. Its built-in charge pump allows it to generate the necessary voltage levels from a single power supply, simplifying circuit design.
There is a wealth of protocols used with serial communication. For example, USB, SATA, or Firewire are all well-established serial protocols, mostly aimed at master-slave communications between a master device and peripherals.RS-232 (EIA-232) or RS-485 are probably expected to be included in this listing, as they are very long-standing serial forms of communication and typically combined with the . In the context with protocols, it is however important to note that these only define the physical layers, the means of moving one byte from A to B, but do not define any of the logical layers (how to interpret the data).Most network adapters such as an Ethernet adapter work serially (bits are transmitted and received one by one, not multiple at the same time), so these could be considered a serial protocol.Countless other forms of asynchronous and synchronous serial communication exists and are in use.
one bit at a time

In system programming, "serial" refers to a method of communication where data is transmitted sequentially one bit at a time over a single channel or wire. This contrasts with parallel communication, where multiple bits are sent simultaneously across multiple channels. Serial communication is commonly used in devices like modems, sensors, and microcontrollers due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, especially over long distances. It often adheres to standards such as RS-232 or USB for data transfer.
A serial wire can be used for several uses. Mainly, it's used for basic communication between different devices. The main advantage is the fact that serial communication can use only three wires. Parallel requires several more, typically eight, or sixteen, plus signalling, and traditionally is faster. But for simple communication between devices, which could be computers or other devices, serial communication can simplify things. Serial communication can also be used for great distances. The telegraph was serial communication. Hence "AT&T"!
LapLink is a talker/listener application for transferring information between two computers. Serial port to the serial port or parallel port to parallel port communication is established between the two computers. One is set up as a talker and the other is set up as a listener.
Dont use serial computers.... They killllll :O parrelell computers are lame as well its the same image on the screen the whole time now to ur architecture question figure it out urself.....
Four. Four pins ie.,TXD,RXD,RTS and CTS. U wil need to use the others in case of devices like modem ,etc.For communication between 2 computers u can avoid thm.
To send and receive data between computers or other electronic devices.
SCSI uses a parellel communication chain and SAS uses serial Point to Point communication
