Sergey,
  I haven't tested the parallel port. Ill load the non PPP
firmware and run the test utility.

I'm trying to figure out from the display i get on my screen whether i'm looking at a
software or hardware problem. I have a CF/ide Board but not a PPIDE Board.
Ill Start with the test Utility.

     Thanks

Well, that should be working. For test purposes, can you load a non-
ppp version and run the test utility?
Also have you tested the parallel interface with any other devices
(e.g. PPIDE)?

Thanks,
Sergey
