Yes, I did an install over lp0. Version 2.0 (some SNAP) and 2.0.5. Worked amazingly easy. Transferrates approaching 70k/sec. Later I also did telnet and ftp, which worked fine as well. (Both directions, of course :-) THe only thing you really have to do is plug in the parallel cable, and do an "ifconfig lp0 local-address remote-address netmask a.b.c.d" Greetings, Rainer
