It sure is! I haven't tried FTP yet, but `ping -s 8` times look good:

PLIP           3.6 ms
33.6k modem  100.3 ms
10base-T       0.5 ms

Jim pointed me to the mini-HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/PLIP.gz which has
all the necessary instructions. I've currently got plip and lp compiled
into the kernel and working at the same time, thanks to simple
instructions in the mini-howto.
