> However, this won't work for large-scale installation of an OS or > programs from a CDROM onto a CD-less machine Correct. I was picking up on the "if all you want to do is transfer files" line when making my comment. BTW, my printer ports are kinda tied up talking to printers, so I don't have much use for printer port file transfer. One of these days, I suspect that I will be getting Ethernet cards for my notebook and desktop PCs. At that point, I might be tempted to say something about ECP ports being "so slow". :-) More seriously, is there a good way to use my one and only printer port for *both* printing and cheap networking? The best I have been able to come up with calls for adding a second printer port to my desktop and routing all of my print jobs through it. If I'm going to give up one of my *very few* remaining IRQs and a slot, I'd rather it be an Ethernet card. -- Ron.
