Yes, it works. I had it running between my 750 and 701. Here's the script I used for the 701 (the 750's hard drive is gone :). #!/bin/sh ifconfig plip0 down ifconfig plip0 irq 7 arp ifconfig plip0 18.250.0.50 pointopoint 18.250.0.56 route add 18.250.0.56 dev plip0 I think the 750's script was the same except I also specified the address of the parallel port, and the 18.250.0.50 and 18.250.0.56 were reversed. Set the 750's parallel port to bidirectional, parallel 1. Use MSD under DOS to determine the address of the parallel port. -- John H.
