We just tried to use a laplink cable with someone else's computer and the 
parallel port is not working correctly, with llpro.  We have one laptop 
which works with llpro but not with linux plip.  Parallel ports on laptops
do not seem to be very standard.

llpro said this port failed the test.  The serial port worked (but too 
slowly to be very helpful).

I have at least one desktop parallel port (I think in an MGA card) that 
also works with llpro but not plip.

If you have pcmcia slots and networks cards try those instead.
