Subject:   parallel cable IP is too slow?

I have two FreeBSD 4.0 boxes connected via a parallel cable interface lp0.
One of them uses PPP over phone line to connect to the outside world.  If
I do a ftp/telnet on the PPP machine, it works fine.  If I do ftp/telnet
on the other machine, it times out.  I am wondering whether IP over
parallel cable is just too slow that it can only connect two machines
directly.

Thanks for any help.
