|
|
|
- PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
|
|
|
- reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
|
|
|
- local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
|
|
|
- install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
|
|
|
- CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
|
|
|
- first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
|
|
|
- enabled for this to work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
|
|
|
- ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
|
|
|
- with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
|
|
|
- bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
|
|
|
- bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
|
|
|
- time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
|
|
|
- <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
|
|
|
- 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
|
|
|
- and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
|
|
|
- driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
|
|
|
- and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
|
|
|
- as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
|
|
|
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
|
|
|
- protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
|
|
|
- with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
|
|
|
- your kernel by about 8 KB.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
|
|
|
- will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
|
|
|
- a laptop later.
