- Has anyone got a Xircom to work on the parallel port?
-
- Won't happen. The kernel requires source code to be available;
- Xircom requires that source code NOT be available. You bought the
- wrong parallel port adapter to use with an open system.
-
- The following manufacturers support open systems:
-
- D-Link - 714-455-1688
- Solectek - 619-450-1220
- Accton - 415-266-9800
- Compulan - 408-922-6888
- [ and soon Kodiak - 510-226-7840 ]
-
- Please tell them that Russell Nelson sent you because of their past
- support for packet drivers and free software in general.
-
- -russ <nelson@crynwr.com> What canst *thou* say?
- Crynwr Software Crynwr Software sells packet driver support.
