<p><bf/NOTE/ 3C598D is NOT supported yet.
<p><bf/NOTE/ We also support TCP/IP over parallel lines. At this point
we are incompatible with other versions, but we hope to correct
this in the near future. Refer to the description in the lp(4)
man page.
<p><bf/NOTE/ Some of these cards require a DOS partition on your hard
drive to run the configuration software. Software configured cards
may also need to be hard-reset after running another operating
system that uses manufacturer-supplied drivers. This may even
require a full power cycle.
