TCP/IP over lp0

Hi!

I would like to know how I set up a connection thru the lp0 (lpt0) ??

I checked the FBSD handbook.

Quote:

Get a laplink cable.
Confirm that both computers have a kernel with lpt driver support.

Code:

# dmesg | grep lp     
lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa     
lpt0: Interrupt-driven     
lp0: TCP/IP capable interface

..but my output didn´t show any lp0 just lpt0

My question is then: How do I create this???? (lp0)

did you recompile your kernel with the support for IP over parallel line ? Because I'm not sure the Generic kernel includes it.
