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. | ||
