279- PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
280- reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
281- local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
282- install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
283- CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
284- first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
285- enabled for this to work.
286-
287- The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
288- ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
289- with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
290- bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
291- bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
292- time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
293- <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
294- 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
295- and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
296- driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
297- and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
298-
299- If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
300- as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
301- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
302- protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
303- with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
304- your kernel by about 8 KB.
305-
306- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
307- will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
308- a laptop later.
