<para>Get a laplink cable. Make sure both computer have a kernel
with lpt driver support.</para>

lpt0: Interrupt-driven
lp0: TCP/IP capable interface</screen>
<para>Plug in the laplink cable into the parallel interface.</para>
<para>Configure the network interface parameters for lp0 on both
sites as root. For example, if you want connect the host max
with moritz</para>
