I have two machines both running centos 4.3. I have a laplink cable (parallel) between them. On one machine I do "echo Hello > /dev/parport0" on the other machine I wrote a short c program to open /dev/parport0 and when characters arrive print them on the screen. Seems simple enough but nothing comes across. Both machines parallel ports are set for PS/2 mode.

Is there a reason this would not work?

THanks,

I think you would have to setup plip. See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP.html
