Tim,
I did know ppdev does this - but correct me if I'm wrong: ppdev in 2.2.x
doesn't use hardware handshaking (big loss in speed, about a factor of
15 when we tried it). Also, we burned a couple of days trying to read
from the port with ppdev and never did get it to work. I vaguely
remember looking through the archives here and think I remeber other
people having had similar problems. I guess in 2.3 - 2.4 these problems
are gone?
