^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) 	  PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) 	  reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) 	  local machines.  A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) 	  install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) 	  CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) 	  first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) 	  enabled for this to work.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) 	  The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1.  The parallel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) 	  ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) 	  with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) 	  bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) 	  bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) 	  time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) 	  <file:Documentation/networking/plip.rst>.  The cables can be up to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) 	  15m long.  Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) 	  and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) 	  driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) 	  and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) 	  If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) 	  as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) 	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.  Note that the PLIP
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) 	  protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) 	  with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x.  This option enlarges
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) 	  your kernel by about 8 KB.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) 	  will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) 	  a laptop later.
