I'm running NetBSD-0.9 with XFree86-2.0, and I have two questions
(unrelated):

1. The driver for /dev/lpa0 is really slow. Is there any way to speed
it up? My parallel port is on an old generic io card -- is the
hardware at fault? 

2. Has anybody successfully ported tkWWW-0.10 (or for that matter
anything of the form *WWW*) to NetBSD-0.9? I suspect that the problem
that I'm having is in libwww.a. I've tried to compile both lynx2-2 and
the aforementioned tk-thing, and while both compile and link with a
bit of work, the "back" command works in neither.

Thanks in advance.
