For case 2, if you have some a networking program which uses the FTP, Inc. type packet drivers in DOS, you can get a packet driver for plip from ftp.crynwr.com. There is a very informative miniHOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/PLIP.gz which contains a URL for a tarball that has all the example files you will need to set up the link. The files rc.inet1_* need to be renamed and placed in /etc/init.d/network, while all other example files are correct. WRT the DOS packet drivers, are there versions that will work for '95?

Linking two computers through parallel port?
In Dos I can use interlnk or laplink to link my notebook to my desktop computer and copy or execute software on the other computer. Can this be done in Linux if 1. both computers have Linux as OS 2. on is a DOS-computer and the other one Linux? Johann.
