Added my if_lp TCP/IP driver to lpt.c.
I have (surprise) not been able to test it on a 2.0 machine yet. Connect the
machines with a parallel "lap-link" cable, and get rates from 35 kbyte/sec
up to 75 kbyte/sec. (when ftp'ing foo: dev/zero -> bar:/dev/null).
The same lpt.c file should compile under 1.1.5.1 without problems.
I think we should promote this feature when we dump 2.0 on the expectant
public, because it provides a cheap and efficient way to move data to and
from notebooks &c. It is not a replacement for ethernet, but a cheap
substitute sometimes.
