Hi Terry !
All projects are HAM projects... So, please Go ahead !
If you find a way to make some money, it would be fair to pass some to

Subject: Parallel Port IP?
A local user asked me to querry if any of the modern NOS's were capable
of using a printer port as an interface between two machines. Thought
I'd heard of some support for this in the past. Know Linux and FreeBSD
can do it thru a LapLink cable. But how about xNOS? Especially the
DJGPP version of KA9Q?
Meanwhile I'm going to download the new KA9Q code and look for myself.

You can do this with the PLIP packet driver (from the Crynwr collection).

Any NOS which supports "attach packet..." should be able to use the Crynwr
PLIP
Packet Driver, I would think.

FYI
I've just got around to reading this RFC (available on nic.ddn.mil:/rfc).
It's a study conducted by MITRE on the use of a modified Trivial File
Transfer protocol. As is customary at MITRE, they've really put a lot of
information in one document.

Either Fry's electronics or NCA (I can't remember which without looking at
the ad) here in the SF Bay area has them. Gee, if they are still going for
$280 in other places I should pick up a few and resell! 8^). $280 is way
too much. I bought a 5mb two years ago for $150. They do ATA emulation so
they look like a hard drive. A real basic Linux should fit in 5 mb and
certainly in 10mb. The PCMCIA adapter board can be had for less than $100us
so the whole thing is probably $150us to $200.

For one thing: an http server with config files/scripts to
setup the router. Cisco IOS 11.x has a built in web server -
they added it because of the demand for a better user interface
on their low end routers. Other companies like Ascend are adding
pretty interfaces as well (not necessarily web based). I hear lots
of people say how difficult Unix is to setup (and for an end user,
it's even more complicated to setup the networking).
