(using the "link0" flag, of course). I've currently got 486DX4-75 laptop running plip.com + NCSA ftp/telnet, trying to hook up to FreeBSD 2.1.5 (486DX2-50) with the lp0 interface configured and laplink cable (demonstrated to work with both interlnk.exe and laplink itself). Using "netstat -s", I can see the (ip) packets being picked up by the kernel but also being rejected as bad, due to "incorrect version". I must assume that NCSA ftp/telnet IP packets would be the same version as the FreeBSD as the IP version (4) has been around for some considerable time. If anyone would like to disabuse me of this notion, then feel free but otherwise I suspect other problems. Anybody care to tell me i'm barking up the wrong tree? or point me to the right tree? thanks in advance, Mark
