The problem: a T1200f with the expansion slot already spoken for and a user wanting to get ethernetted. The solution: a parallel<->ethernet "transceiver". the question: are ther tcp/ip packages which work with these things? More generally do these pretend to be an ethernet card to software or does the software need to know what it's dealing with? More specifically how about ncsa-telnet? Note the f (dual floppy) on the model name, is this a problem? Any general comments on using these things? Reply by e-mail and I'll summarize if there's interest thanks in advance Peter Rayner

asks for a parallel port to ethernet adapter.
Try Xircom. They manufacture an ethernet adapter that plugs into uni-
and bi-directional parallel ports. They also make token ring and
arcnet adapters. Recent packages include a packet driver, which should
work with most popular freely available and commercial TCP/IP's for
PC's.
