Is it possible to transfer files over two computers using the comm port? Withough using the network card?
Links/Man pages/ HOWTOs or any pointer would be great.

I suppose by comm port, you mean a null modem (aka crossed cable). You could use PPP with one machine as the server and the other as the client. I think its described in the PPP-HOWTO.
