Yea, I thought of trying that; even got a cable for it, but for some reason I can't get it to work. My thinking is that lp0 is an spp. I could just be doing it wrong, but I'm pretty sure I did the steps right. It should be just like an ethernet only using plip.o (I didn't insmod lp.o in case you're wondering). So, I guess I'm still stuck with the serial ports. I got dxpc and that seems to decrease the response time a little, but not enought to worry about. At least I can get netscape to load across the connection. I'll keep looking.
