While fiddling around trying to get PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) working on my TP701, I noticed some unusual behavior from the parallel port. If you set it to anything but a simple parallel port, most software will see TWO parallel ports, one normal and one enhanced. If you consider the 701 already uses nearly all its IRQs, it's easy to see how software can get confused with this. -- John H.
