The two computers (386 laptop, 486 desktop) do not configure
the parallel port in their BIOS setups.

I've used a DOS boot floppy (with PLIP packetdriver and ping)
to test all five computers. The three computers that work
with Linux PLIP all work with DOS PLIP. The remaining two
computers don't work with either version of PLIP.
I can accept that those two computers have inadequate
parallel ports. However, I do not understand why
intersvr/interlnk (MS-DOS) works perfectly on those
same ports.
Thanks for your reply, Richard.
Cheers,
Steven
