If I remember far enough in the thread, you were going to
do this between Linux boxen. n.b., this doesn't work between
Linux and DOS/Win boxes. Also, you may wish to check
whether the version of Linux that you are using on your
laptop (1.2.x, wasn't it?) can support PLIP. Just thumbing
through my copy of the PLIP How-to, I didn't see a specific
mention, but it seemed that most of the references were
to 2.0.x kernels....
