are there any parameters to play with for getting tcp/ip over the parallel
port working - i tried it with two FreeBSD machines - one 2.1.0 and one
-current but i only get very few packets through the line - here's what i get
from ping -f and netstat:
2874 packets transmitted, 241 packets received, 91% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 9.805/11.167/17.566 ms
root@mordillo:~> netstat -ain
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
ed0 1500 <Link>00.00.c0.19.fa.ae 566 0 640 0 0
ed0 1500 10 10.0.0.1 566 0 640 0 0

lp0 1500 10 10.0.0.3 1019 1 1165 2490 0
the other side:
4308 packets transmitted, 617 packets received, 85% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 11.202/15.700/30.719 ms

there do these errors come from ? - is there any timing i may change to get it
working or is it the hardware (i had it working between the two machines some
time ago - but now some parts of them have changed - and the cable was
different) ? - or can it be that the cable is too long (it's really long -
about 5 meters or so) ?
does anyone have any ideas ? nate ? - thanks in advance
