Note this is almost identical to the earlier plip-0.4 version posted some 
time ago. Most changes appear to be minor changes in documentation. However,
this version is stated to work with Minix 2.0.3 as well as Minix 2.0.2.

==============================================================================

The files included allows you to use a parallel cable between 2 machines
to be connected like a small network, using the PLIP protocol.

It is composed by a kernel driver, and two user program. The plip.doc
comments how to add the driver to your kernel and how to compile the external 
driver program.

This version work in Minix version 2.0.2, 16 and 32 bits. There are no PLIP 
driver for previous Minix versions and this driver will not work for them.
Also this driver version 0.4 does not work with previous commands so you need
to recompile the new 0.4 versions. But you can connect plip 0.4 with previous
versions installed in other machines, so the protocol is the same.

If you have questions, suggestions, and ideas, please let me know.
