PLIP stands for Parallel Line Internet Protocol. A common problem with
       ancient computers is the fact that they were rarely fitted with an Ethernet
       adapter, and it wasn't necessarily easy to add one (esp. if considering
       portable computers). However, most of these machines had a parallel port,
       primarily designed to hook a printer.
       
       The PLIP protocol is a work-around networking solution that allows a machine
       to use its parallel port as a networking device. This, of course, require
       said parallel port to be connected to some kind of PLIP server, or another
       computer running PLIP.
