	support for this was added by Poul-Henning Kamp
<phk@login.dkuug.dk> and is in the current sources as well as my 1.1.5.1
sources, but this was a patch to the sources.  do a 'netstat -in' and see
if lp interfaces are listed.  if so you have lpip in the kernel already
you need to have 'options INET' and an lpt device in your kernel. 

	here's the netstat output you are looking for:
karma:jmb [163] netstat -in
