UUCP Transfer Files to Old UNIX Computer
I recently installed AT&T UNIX SysV, on an old Pentium computer. I now find that I am unable to transfer files to and from the computer. I previously posted about problems mounting a floppy drive, but that is just bringing up more problems about the filesystem format.
JGT brought to my attention UUCP, where I can transfer files to and from my computers via serial cable.

3. Do you have serial ports on the unix system, and at least one of the others?
The unix system should have uucp installed. You will need to create a null modem cable to connect the serial ports. You may have to install uucp on the ubuntu system. There are windows versions of uucp as well.
The only problem is that I don't have a cable lying around. And I havn't seen one in Wal-Mart before. I do however, have the resources to build a cable, if it is possible. I have an abundance of parallel port connectors (25pin printer port). Is it possible to use a parallel port cable instead of a serial port?
Thanks for the help

plipconfig
PLIPCONFIG(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual PLIPCONFIG(8)
NAME
plipconfig - fine tune PLIP device parameters
SYNOPSIS
plipconfig interface [nibble NN] [trigger NN]
plipconfig [-V] [--version] [-h] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
Plipconfig is used to (hopefully) improve PLIP performance by changing the default timing parameters used by the PLIP protocol. Results are
dependent on the parallel port hardware, cable, and the CPU speed of each machine on each end of the PLIP link.
If the single interface argument is given, plipconfig displays the status of the given interface only. Otherwise, it will try to set the
options.
OPTIONS
nibble NN
Sets the nibble wait value in microseconds. Default is 3000.
trigger NN
Sets the trigger wait value in microseconds. Default is 500.
PLIP speed can in some cases be improved by lowering the default values. Values which are too low may cause excess use of CPU, poor inter-
rupt response time resulting in serial ports dropping characters, or in dropping of PLIP packets. Changing the plip MTU can also affect
PLIP speed.
NOTE
If you get no response it is far more likely the irq is wrong and needs setting with ifconfig. The few cases where the default parameters
will be too fast are those using very long cables. Something you should never do as the parallel port is not specified or designed for
driving long cable runs.
