It sure is! I haven't tried FTP yet, but `ping -s 8` times look good: PLIP 3.6 ms 33.6k modem 100.3 ms 10base-T 0.5 ms Jim pointed me to the mini-HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/PLIP.gz which has all the necessary instructions. I've currently got plip and lp compiled into the kernel and working at the same time, thanks to simple instructions in the mini-howto.
