I need to install plip between two computers, one of which has a working parallel port and one of which does not. I tried to buy the digital research "drparepp1" card ($10), but looking at netstat -r output it appears that packets go out but not in. Actually I tried this with the cheaper digital research "bidirectional" card ($5), but received the same results. Since the lp(4) manpage says that bugs are plentiful with cheap parallel port cards, I'm wondering if someone can recommend a GOOD parallel port card that they have set up to WORK with plip? thanks for your time, Brian Szymanski bks10@cornell.edu brian.szymanski@cornell.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
