I always used Laplink for this but there are alternatives

Google for "Serial cable transfer software"

I don't believe you need any additional software.

Microsoft provides the software to do this in Windows 98 and Windows 95.  Microsoft calls this "Direct Cable Connection" or "Direct Connection".  Look for it in Windows 98 "Help" and on internet.

I'll start you off:
