Looks like 0x378 (parport1) is the port to use. You may
be able to adjust this by using io= and/or irq= parameters
with the plip insmod (or perhaps one of the parport insmods).

echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq (or similar).

Why don't you disable the printer port? Most herc cards
have a jumper to do that.

You can use pppd. See netsetup in BL3 for details.
