Okay, If you are using the YELLOW laplink cable, you are doing this parallel, if you are using the BLUE cable [4 heads] you are doing this serial. If you are doing it serial, you should set your port to be a dumb terminal on both ends which basically just means you are setting the baudrate as high as you can go, most likely 115kbaud. Whether you are using a cuaa1 device or the lp0 device [for the parallel port deal] you will need to setup two IP addresses [if you are not connecting to a larger network, especially the internet]. Actually to be on the safe side, use IP addresses in the 100.x.x.x block which have been assigned for non-live internet usage. Anyway, two IP addresses say 100.1.1.2 and 100.1.1.3 on each machine. run ifconfig [device] ipaddress1 ipaddress2 and on the other ifconfig [device] ipaddress2 ipaddress1 I don't remember if both machines can just slattach at that point at the whole thing works. I would think you might have to use sliplogin on one of the machines which will set the IP addresses for you if you set it up correctly [as in the FAQ] the other machine can just ifconfig and slattach after a sliplogin and everything *should* work. -Jerry.
