Can you interface a computer running BasLin/Linux to a Windows box over a 
direct parallel ports connexion ?

My 486 comp no longer has an ethernet card. When running Windows, it is fully 
networked to another Win computer, both sides using what MS calls "direct 
cable connexion" (DCC) over parallel (printer) wires. I wonder if I can 
interface Baslin to Windows DCC. Linux has something called PLIP if I 
remember clearly, can you install PLIP in BasLin & can you then interoperate 
it with the Windows DCC ? 

I'd like to hear from your experience...
