[plug] plip windows 98 <-> linux

[Kai]

I just checked http://www.ple.com.au/ and they only sell the PCI version.
$60 for a single serial port card

Same at Computer Cash'n'Carry
http://www.cashncarry.com.au/pricelist/general.htm

I thought I had one spare but I can't find it.
You might want to keep an eye out or put out a "wanted" request on 
http://bargainboard.navada.com.au/

Have you thought about looking 2nd hand for a PCMCIA ?
