[App_rpt-users] limey linux and parallel ports

[Jim Duuuude]

Gee, I wasnt aware that the Neoware CA-22 was one of the COUPLE
supported hardwares for Limey Linux.... ??

Also, WHY ARE YOU ATTEMPTING TO USE CHAN_USBRADIO ON  A PROCESSOR
THAT COULDNT POSSIBLY HAVE THE HORSEPOWER TO HANDLE IT??

Also, Limey Linux INTENTIONALLY does not support *ANY* OS drivers for the
parallel port. Its intended to have the userspace programs access it directly
with the use of ioperm. You probably are attempting to use a configuration file
designed for a 'standard' OS distro.
