Hi,

	I have just recently installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a 386DX40. I have
been trying very hard to get it talk to another Linux 486 boxi via PLIP. Before
installing FreeBSD on the 386DX40, I was running Linux on both boxes linked
up via PLIP and sharing disk through NFS happily. 

	Is the PLIP implementation compatible on both these platforms??
Or I have missed out something?

	Thanks in advance.

Regards,
S.T.Chang
