Hi !

I asked this question before but I think it didn't come through:

>Is it possible to connect a PC, which runs MSDOS, to FreeBSD over a parallel
>cable maybe with the TCP-LPT-interface ? If this works what kind of software
>do I need and how to use it ? I just want to have the disks from FreeBSD
>linked to the MSDOS-PC-side, so that I can access them on the DOS-PC.
>Can anyone help me ?

I got a hint to use samba at the FreeBSD side and to use a DOS LAN client
(I don't have Windows for Workgroups or anything like that). So I need exact
information which software can I use and what device drivers do I need.
And: Where to get it ? (Of course it should be free available :-))

Thanx,
	Udo
