	Yes.  It has two serial ports, but I don't have the cable.  I  have 
the PLIP cable already so I figured that would be the way to go.  How 
much does a serial cable cost that allows you to do, what I assume is a 
SLIP connection?
	I'd really like to know that I can use the parallel-to-parallel 
cable I have for some purpose.  It seems like I wasted my money on it 
otherwise ;(
