Hi at all!!!
I should realize an application for connect two PC's through the parallel
port, with the Laplink cable. (like "Direct Cable Connection").
I have already worked with the API functions (CreateFile, ReadFile,
WriteFile, etc...) for the serial port.
But, now, there isn't communication, and the Laplink cable, used with
"Direct Cable Connection" (on win9x), it work correctly.

Does any example exist, for connect the parallel port?
Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

Daniele
