Very Computer

And before someone shouts "RTFM, buddy!", I have spent all day RTFMing
and looking for TFMs to R.

Cheers

And yes, I too did R the FM's. I even tried to F the RM's.

Paai.

   I am attempting to set up a PLIP connection between my Linux box
   and a 286.  I got a good cable (2 actually) which conforms to the
   specs, have got my Linux box configured and rebuild the kernel.  
   However, on the DOS (ugh!) box, I am attempting to use the Crynwr
   plip driver on irq 5, soft io addr 0x7e, hardware io addr 0x278,
   ethernet id 31:32:37:2e:31:2e.  Each type I try to ping my linux box,
   i get "cannot resolve host's hardware address".  Any suggestions or
   places to refer me to?

Hmmm, sounds like a bug in plip.com to me.  The first byte of an
Ethernet address should never be odd, unless it's being sent to a
multicast group.
