Hi, I have successfully brought up the FreeBSD version of the lpt0 interface with -link0 flag and was wondering if I could connect my laptop running Win95 to the FreeBSD box. Looking at the pertinent info it seems that the lpt0 driver is quite a "home-grown" development, ie. interoperability with other systems is quite limited. Is this because Micro$oft does not release it's parallel line protocols? Also is running nfs over two lpt0 interfaces a reasonable networking solution between two FreeBSD boxes? ftp reported ~80kbps and the hardware is cheap, I mean free. -- Gabor Kincses (gabor@acm.org) FreeBSD 2.1.5/2.2.2
