This is a new release. There are many changes and lots of
enhancements, but there will be still grammar and spelling errors
(english is not my native language) and, unlikely but possible, some
wrong or outdated info. PLEASE let me know about any errors to help me
provide the correct information for everybody.
The biggest changes in the release are:
- SGML format
- a general answer to the "PLIP with win95" most asked question (the
answer is negative, sorry)
- bigger and better FAQ section (thanks to the reports of countless
users: many of them will find their comments there, as I promised!)
- removal of the Quick PLIP Installation files, that was useless and
outdated.
- updated Dos-Linux PLIP link addendum
For any question, error correction, comment and/or suggestion, my E-Mail
address is: controzz@cli.di.unipi.it. Feel free to mail me any time you
need help. Sometimes I won't answer immediately, but I'll answer. If it
happens that you don't receive anything from me after 2 weeks, this means
that our mail system has trouble: do not hesitate to mail me again, it's
my duty to help you. I can guarantee I'll solve your problems, but I'll
try.
If after many mails you don't receive answer, check your return address.
Several times my answers did not arrive due to delivery problems, usually
because the return address was root@myhost.
Before sending mail read the FAQ, my answer to a question already present in
the FAQ will not be better (but likely worse or less complete) than the
answer you can already read.
For questions about PLIP with DOS and Win95 please send mail to the
authors of these chapters, I can't help you.
First of all, a lot of technical information come from the net-2-HOWTO, by
Terry Dawson. This mini-HOWTO is not supposed to cover other aspects and/or
replace the net-2-HOWTO: my goal is to give you a way to install a PLIP
permanent connection quickly, *ONLY* this. All the other info come from
my personal experience and the help of many users that sent me comments
and information.
Read the net-2-HOWTO and the other docs for the general information about
the network and the config files I suggest to change.
