Hi, You can make your own PLIP cable for less than Rs.60. Just read the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt file (It is also talked about in a PLIP HOWTO). It talks of two modes, the second mode is supposed to be faster but is unfortunately not supported (I learnt from bitter experience). We use PLIP at our hostel, using home-brew cables. You get good speeds, but only two computers can be connected (actually three, if every computer has 2 parallel ports). So, you cant really have a *LAN* or anything of that sort. Just find some guy who knows some soldering and stuff, and make your own cable. Bye, vml Model Engg. College Cochin _______________________________________________________ Are you a Techie?
