- ---help---
- 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.
