<EM>This HOWTO will hopefully let you build and use a Parallel Line Interface

Protocol.</EM>

<DT><B>NOTE</B><DD><P>This is a new release. There are many changes and lots of
|
|
enhancements, but there will be still grammar and spelling errors
|
|
(english is not my native language) and, unlikely but possible, some
|
|
wrong or outdated info. PLEASE let me know about any errors to help me
|
|
provide the correct information for everybody.
|
|
<P>The biggest changes in the release are:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> SGML format </LI>
|
|
<LI> a general answer to the "PLIP with win95" most asked question (the
|
|
answer is negative, sorry)</LI>
|
|
<LI> bigger and better FAQ section (thanks to the reports of countless
|
|
users: many of them will find their comments there, as I promised!) </LI>
|
|
<LI> removal of the Quick PLIP Installation files, that was useless and
|
|
outdated.</LI>
|
|
<LI> updated Dos-Linux PLIP link addendum</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>For any question, error correction, comment and/or suggestion, my E-Mail
|
|
address is: controzz@cli.di.unipi.it. Feel free to mail me any time you
|
|
need help. Sometimes I won't answer immediately, but I'll answer. If it
|
|
happens that you don't receive anything from me after 2 weeks, this means
|
|
that our mail system has trouble: do not hesitate to mail me again, it's
|
|
my duty to help you. I can guarantee I'll solve your problems, but I'll
|
|
try.
|
|
If after many mails you don't receive answer, check your return address.
|
|
Several times my answers did not arrive due to delivery problems, usually
|
|
because the return address was root@myhost.
|
|
<P>Before sending mail read the FAQ, my answer to a question already present in
|
|
the FAQ will not be better (but likely worse or less complete) than the
|
|
answer you can already read.
|
|
<P>For questions about PLIP with DOS and Win95 please send mail to the
|
|
authors of these chapters, I can't help you.
|
|
<P>First of all, a lot of technical information come from the net-2-HOWTO, by
|
|
Terry Dawson. This mini-HOWTO is not supposed to cover other aspects and/or
|
|
replace the net-2-HOWTO: my goal is to give you a way to install a PLIP
|
|
permanent connection quickly, *ONLY* this. All the other info come from
|
|
my personal experience and the help of many users that sent me comments
|
|
and information.
|
|
<P>Read the net-2-HOWTO and the other docs for the general information about
|
|
the network and the config files I suggest to change.
