Hi all

As written before, I have plip fun/cnf files.

I'am not sure, how usefull they are, but may be a startingpoint for
others. They work fine for me.

I would like to here more. I allways cry out, what others
want to do with plip. What I'am doing is very specific. I want to
have a mulinx box to be my gateway from plip to eth0. So
I allso setup masqurading. This may be not so common.

Please let me know, what you plan or do right now.

/sven

#--------------------------
# plip connectivity

info()
{
cat <<END
                        - PLIP setup -

END

}

prepare()
{
resource=$1

prompt MY_IPADDR "$MY_IPADDR" "Enter IP address of this side"
prompt DEST_IPADDR "$DEST_IPADDR" "Enter IP address of the other side"
prompt PLIP_PORT "$PLIP_PORT" "Enter linux paralel port (0, 1, 2) "

cat <<END

        NETWORK address is the portion of IP address that is
        common amongst all addresses within your LAN. If your
        network IP block is 192.168.1.x, NETWORK=192.168.1.0

END

save -n $resource configure
}

configure()
{
        
        load_modules plip
        
# config plip

        ifconfig plip${PLIP_PORT} down
        ifconfig plip${PLIP_PORT} ${MY_IPADDR} pointopoint ${DEST_IPADDR} up
        route add ${DEST_IPADDR} plip${PLIP_PORT}

# and now put it in as masquerade
        ipfwadm -F -p deny
        ipfwadm -F -a m -S ${DEST_IPADDR}

        echo
}
