Results are dependent on the parallel port hardware,  ca‐\nble, and the CPU speed of each machine on each end of the PLIP link.\n\nIf the single interface argument is given, plipconfig displays the status of the given inter‐\nface only.  Otherwise, it will try to set the options.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### nibble NN\n\nSets the nibble wait value in microseconds. Default is 3000.\n\n#### trigger NN\n\nSets the trigger wait value in microseconds. Default is 500.\n\nPLIP speed can in some cases be improved by lowering the default values.   Values  which  are\ntoo  low  may cause excess use of CPU, poor interrupt response time resulting in serial ports\ndropping characters, or in dropping of PLIP packets. Changing the plip MTU  can  also  affect\nPLIP speed.\n\n### NOTE\n\nIf  you  get no response it is far more likely the irq is wrong and needs setting with ifcon‐\nfig. The few cases where the default parameters will be too fast are those  using  very  long\ncables.  Something  you should never do as the parallel port is not specified or designed for\ndriving long cable runs.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\nifconfig(8)\n\n### BUGS\n\nNon.\n\n### AUTHOR\n\nJohn Paul Morrison, <jmorriso@bogomips.ee.ubc.ca>, <ve7jpm@ve7jpm.ampr.org>\n\n\n\n\nnet-tools                                    2008-10-03                                PLIPCONFIG(8)\n\n"
