Yes, I've checked that several times.  netpnet-server is run with the
opposite unit number to the one in the mountlist.  On both machines.

That's what I thought - although I have used ParNET from three different
sources (two CD-ROMs and AmiNet download), and both machines print with no
problems...

Frankly, I'm baffled.

And I've checked and re-checked the cable (with a multimeter) and all the
appropriate pins are connected.

Argh!  Help!
