I use plip, in module form, I could not get the IRQ mode working, but IRQ-less mode works fine, I had to use plipconfig to set both the nibble and trigger much higher than the default values.. I use 10,000 (the defaults were somewhere around 1000 if I recall).. I still get soem dropped packets, but not too many. I think the plipconfig values he gives in the HOWTO are based on getting IRQ mode working.. possibly IRQ-less requires much higher values? anyhow, whenever I tried loading the module it gave me a message that the config options were not recognized (namely.. the config option to tell it what irq to use) so, since the HOWTO said it was -possible- but not desirable to get IRQ-less mode working.. I worked at that.. I get ~30Kb/s transfer rates, which is not too bad... so, unless I can find out how to get IRQ mode working properly (pref with modules, since plip doesn't need to be in memory when my laptop and desktop aren't connected), I will likely not experiment much further. If you get it going let me know and I'll try it out... Dave
