TITLE
plip.device 38.12
AUTHOR
Original Authors: Oliver Wagner & Michael Balzer
Bug fix modifications: R. Jeremy James <jeremy@southern.co.nz>
Further development: Martin J. Laubach <mjl@CSlab.tuwien.ac.at>
DESCRIPTION
plip.device is a SANA-II compliant (internal) parallel port
network interface driver - this version is a bug fix described in
the New Features section, someone who tested this for me suggested
it made a 25% speed increase which I doubt since I haven't done
anything to that part of the code, except compile with SAS/C
6.55, and I suspect they upgraded from an old(er than 38.11)
version of plip.device but this is unknown, if you observe a
speed increase due to this version of plip.device please post in
comp.sys.amiga.networking.
NEW FEATURES
S2_DEVICEQUERY command now respects the correct usage of the
SizeAvailable & SizeSupplied fields of the Sana2DeviceQuery
structure passed to the S2_DEVICEQUERY command.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
A working internal parallel port, cable made as described in the
docs and a SANA-II compliant Networking Package such as Envoy.

PRICE, DISTRIBUTABILITY & OTHER LEGAL STUFF
While Oliver & Michael were supporting plip.device it was
considered Shareware but I (and someone else I know working on
plip.device) have tried mailing both of them without success.
They have also released the source to Aminet so I guess they've
placed it in the Public Domain (I remember one of them talking
about releasing it under a GNU license while the ADSP network was
alive).
