  One friend had a null modem cable, other one a parallel cable. Though they lived together, I was thinking about the latter friend for reasons beyond scope. He made a LAN with two computers. It could've been IEEE 1284, I don't know. Back then, cables were a tad more expensive and difficult to come by. Plus, we had to get it working in MSDOS, IIRC. The advantage of parallel cable was we could pump (other) data over it as well.
