I'm not sure whether you are after a Linux specific answer here or not.
In the linux case, the PLIP configuration is a parallel linux IP connection.
It is just like SLIP, except utilising parallel data transfer using 
conventional parallel ports in place of serial ports.

Again, I'm not sure exactly what information you are after, but the cable
pinout is available in the NET-2-HOWTO.
