Great ideas. The system in question has one of each. I might even be able to figure out how to feed the paralell port in to another system as I do have some other Linux boxes with paralell ports. I think all but the oldest P.C.'s can receive through their parallel ports. If I am not mistaken, that was the operating principle behind the LapLink system. Thank you.
