Hi,
 I have searched the Dejanews archive and saw a lot of questions about
this but I didn't find answers. I'm trying to connect an OS/2 system 
to a Linux system through a parallel cable (Laplink). I know there's 
something called PLIP in Linux (and from the HOW-TO, it seem easy to 
setup) and PMAC on OS/2, but how do they work together? I have the 
pieces of the puzzle but I would appreciate any help or hints on how 
to put them together.

 Thanks!
 CQ

I don't know if PLIP & PMAC are compatible.  Perhaps someone has 
ported PLIP to OS/2?  If you don't want to get a couple of NICs, you 
may have to use the serail port and SLIP or PPP, which are supported 
by both OS/2 & Linux.
