# Parallel Line Internet Protocol (PLIP) network device configuration | ||

config PLIP | ||
tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support" | ||
depends on PARPORT | ||
---help--- | ||
PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a | ||
reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) | ||
local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to | ||
install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a | ||
CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies | ||
first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option | ||
enabled for this to work. | ||
|
||
The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel | ||
ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected | ||
with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 | ||
bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on | ||
bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a | ||
time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in | ||
<file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to | ||
15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows | ||
and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet | ||
driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) | ||
and winsock or NCSA's telnet. | ||
|
||
If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well | ||
as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from | ||
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP | ||
protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together | ||
with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges | ||
your kernel by about 8 KB. | ||
|
||
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module | ||
will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy | ||
a laptop later. |
