parallel port midi interface?

[Brian Denny]

forgive this newbie question -- i've scoured the web, to no avail...

i have an external GS/GM sound module which is connected to my machine
via a parallel-port midi interface (Opcode midi translator pc).

(how) can i get linux to recongnize/use this device?

(current status: midi out via soundcard works fine; parallel-port printer
works fine; but linux shows no sign of being able to see the midi device
at the parallel port.)

thanks,
