Re: JNOS & the PLIP (parallel-port IP) driver

I believe so, it was store-bought and advertised as a laplink cable.
That is a good point, I could just be getting noise one one of the status
lines, which might explain why I get one out of every n packets,  but the
chance of that is pretty low.

I'll pull out the multimeter and check the cable.  Thanks for the reminder.

  Does your parallel cable have all of its pins wired?
