Results are dependent on +the parallel port hardware, cable, and the CPU speed of each machine +on each end of the PLIP link. +.LP +If the single +.B interface +argument is given, +.B plipconfig +displays the status of the given interface +only. Otherwise, it will try to set the options. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B "nibble NN" +Sets the nibble wait value in microseconds. Default is 3000. +.TP +.B "trigger NN" +Sets the trigger wait value in microseconds. Default is 500. +.LP +PLIP speed can in some cases be improved by lowering the default values. +Values which are too low may cause excess use of CPU, poor interrupt +response time resulting in serial ports dropping characters, or in dropping +of PLIP packets. Changing the plip MTU can also affect PLIP speed. +.SH NOTE +If you get no response it is far more likely the irq is wrong and needs +setting with ifconfig. The few cases where the default parameters will +be too fast are those using very long cables. Something you should +never do as the parallel port is not specified or designed for driving +long cable runs. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ifconfig (8) +.SH BUGS +Non. +.SH AUTHOR +John Paul Morrison, <jmorriso@bogomips.ee.ubc.ca>, <ve7jpm@ve7jpm.ampr.org> + |
