In Windows I recall something called Direct Cable Connection that allowed you to link two computers thru the parallel port. The GNU/Linux version of this appears to be PLIP (which I tried and failed at many many moons ago).
So, is there a more modern way to "hotwire" two boxes without the use of routers or extra file systems? Is it possible to do a straight USB to USB or NIC to NIC connection? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
