                                INTERLNK.EXE 
  
Redirects requests for operations on one or more Interlnk client drives or 
printer ports to one or more drives or printer ports on the Interlnk server. 
This device driver must be loaded by a <DEVICE> or <DEVICEHIGH> command in 
your CONFIG.SYS file. 
  
You must install the INTERLNK.EXE device driver before you can use the 
<INTERLNK> and <INTERSVR> commands. 
  
Syntax 
  
    DEVICE=[drive:][path]INTERLNK.EXE [/DRIVES:n] [/NOPRINTER] 
    [/COM[:][n|address]] [/LPT[:][n|address]] [/AUTO] [/NOSCAN] [/LOW] 
    [/BAUD:rate] [/V] 
  
Parameters 
  
[drive:][path] 
    Specifies the location of the INTERLNK.EXE file. 
  
Switches 
  
/DRIVES:n 
    Specifies the number of redirected drives. By default, the number is 3. 
    If you specify 0 as a value for n, Interlnk redirects only printers. 
  
/NOPRINTER 
    Specifies that printers not be redirected when you install INTERLNK.EXE. 
    By default, Interlnk redirects all available printer ports. 
  
/COM[:][n|address] 
    Specifies a serial port to use for data transfer. The n parameter 
    specifies the number of the serial port. The address parameter specifies 
    the address of the serial port. If you omit n or address, the Interlnk 
    client searches all serial ports and uses the first port that it finds 
    connected to the server. If you specify the /COM switch and omit the 
    /LPT switch, the client searches only for serial ports. By default, 
    Interlnk scans all serial and parallel ports. 
  
/LPT[:][n|address] 
    Specifies a parallel port to use for data transfer. The n parameter 
    specifies the number of the parallel port. The address parameter 
    specifies the address of the parallel port. If you omit n or address, 
    the Interlnk client uses the first parallel port that it finds connected 
    to the server. If you specify the /LPT switch and omit the /COM switch, 
    the client searches only for parallel ports. By default, Interlnk scans 
    all serial and parallel ports. 
  
/AUTO 
    Installs the INTERLNK.EXE device driver in memory only if the client can 
    establish a connection with the server when the client starts up. By 
    default, Interlnk is installed in memory even if the client cannot 
    establish a connection with the server. 
  
/NOSCAN 
    Installs the INTERLNK.EXE device driver in memory, but prevents 
    establishing a connection between client and server during setup. By 
    default, the client tries to establish a connection with the server as 
    soon as you install INTERLNK.EXE. 
  
/LOW 
    Loads the INTERLNK.EXE device driver into conventional memory, even if 
    the upper memory area is available. By default, INTERLNK.EXE is loaded 
    into the upper memory area if the upper memory area is available. 
  
/BAUD:rate 
    Sets a maximum baud rate for serial communication. Valid values for rate 
    are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. The default is 115200. 
  
/V 
    Prevents conflicts with a computer's timer. Specify this switch if you 
    have a serial connection between computers and one of them stops running 
    when you use Interlnk to access a drive or printer port. 
