I believe there is something called PLIP that allows that.  Someone 
mentioned it to me that he could run a telnet program through it (using a 
PLIP packet driver) to his linux machine.  As for more information on a 
PLIP driver, I _thought_ I saw it in the Crynrware <sp?> packet driver 
collection.
