Yes, I think so too. :-)

Well, PLIP only works on SPP. At least, protocol assumes that the
parallel port is SPP, and it was implemented assuming SPP. Then, it
comes Parport, more big picture which supports SPP, EPP, ECP, and
such. Please note that even with Parport, PLIP only works on SPP,
because it uses 4-bit nibble of cable.

PLIP doesn't work without IRQ. It is totally interrupt-base code. I think
that there are some confusions here.

Please describe your *problem* at first. You posted many messages,
but I couldn't figure out what's your problem exactly. In one
message, you said that PLIP is working, in another message you said
that PLIP is broken, which is true? Surely, I could help you, if you
let me know what is the problem. I understand your upset upgrading to
2.1 kernel, so, please let me know the problem.
Thanks,

As one who has been following this discussion closely, and has an investment of time and effort in procmail and SmartList, I'm very happy Dr.Bart Schaefer has indicated an interest in furthering procmail (and, perhaps by extension, SmartList) development. Bart was quite involved in the development of the MUA I still use, mush, among other things (http://www.well.com/user/barts/bart.html).
