Hey Lennart,

Great work (ok *awesome work*) on the USB stuff and sound support!
I've been meaning to say that for a while now.. :)  So my question
is, should I expect the 'ulpt' driver to work better than 'lpt' with
IEEE1284 printers & cables?  Currently I have a NEC SuperScript 870
connected to my SOYO SY6BA+, and it works great under Windows 98, but
the lpt driver is flaky under NetBSD.  Using the various minor 
drivers (interruptless, no reset, etc) I can get something that more
or less works, _most_ of the time.

My hope is a USB lpt port my Just Work.  If so, I plan on buying a USB
hub with 2 serial, 1 parallel port.

Thanks for any insight!

-Andrew
