I keep telling myself I'm going to purchase laplink but haven't
gotten around to it yet. (Any testimonials?) I assume the 1mb/s
transfer rate is only possible if you have EPP ports on both ends
of the link, right? I would think a plain unidirectional parallel port
on either end would constrain throughput to the speed of that device.
