52.Sh DESCRIPTION 53The 54.Nm 55driver allows a PC parallel printer port to be used as a 56point-to-point network interface between two similarly configured systems. 57Data is transferred 4 bits at a time, using the printer status lines for 58input: hence there is no requirement for special bidirectional hardware 59and any standard AT-compatible printer port with working interrupts may be used. --- 174 unchanged lines hidden --- |
