Thanks.

I want to have two pc linked with plip, because I have only one screen, but 2
displays (keyboard + mouse). On the pc with the screen, there is a full linux,
so an X server will be running here, and so the other pc, running mulinux could
share the same screen as an X client.
plip is running on the 2 computers, but ping doesn't work. In fact I don't know
wether my cable is a null cable or not. I have this cable because I have an
external cdrecorder, and this is the cable used for it. Does someone know if it
is a null cable ?
My other problem is that I only have on screen for 2 computers... It's quite
hard to guess what is happening on the one without screen... Hopefully I can
play paganini and piano on the mu computer, so I am gonna do a musical mu. For
that, I have to be able to redirect stdout and stederr to a wrapper. Does
someone know how to do that ? Have I to use C for that ? And is there an
example of such programm. (I will copy Michele's piano for the input).

I would like to do a more generic plip setup. In fact I think the better would
be to add a method in the network setup, in addition to pcmcia and ethernet. I
took some of your config and added it to network.fun, and network.cnf. I will
join the files after the test.
another remark about the following line :
prompt PLIP_PORT "$PLIP_PORT" "Enter linux paralel port (0, 1, 2)"
I don't think it is a good way to do, as it is the kernel that says what number
it is. So I think a better way would be to do something like: (taken from a
Michele's script).
save=$IFS; IFS=:
set -- `dmesg | grep '^plip\?'`
dev=$1
IFS=save
Well, that's what I did...
I add the same problem than another person on the list with mu -r, complaining
about a problem with mk2fs. I passed by... Testing now.
