- Hi. I recently built myself one of them modified parallel cables (with
- 5 lines switched) like the ones LapLink3 uses. What I want to know is
- what I need to know about actually sending data through these things
- (a null modem cable is so much simpler, but... :-). Is polled or
- interrupt I/O preferable?
-
- I would prefer e-mail, and I will post a summary for those interested,
- but I do read this area frequently.
-
- Thanks
