Hello,

I heard (on this list) that there was a laplink for FreeBSD to transfer
between twom machines (one DOS and one FreeBSD). I could not find any
program of the sort on ftp.freebsd.org. Could someone give me the name
of such a program.

I have a bi-directional printer cable already. I was wondering if I even
need another program. On the PC my comm program allows me to open a direct
connection (although I don't know about a parallel direct connection) without
using the modem. Is there someway I could just have FreeBSD send the
data across the parallel port using zmodem (for instance) and have my PC get
the data?


Thanks for any info,

Mark Bynum
