You'll buy a certain amount of leverage if you use TCP/IP across the
link. A lot less farting around at the master end. It does mean you
need a small OS with a TCP/IP stack at the other end. Then you start
using existing tools, which makes life a whole lot easier, and still a
damn sight faster than bit bashing a parallel port...
