Problem:  Someone at our site wishes to upload parallel data
at high speeds from a PC LAN to a VAX 780.  The parallel port
on a DMF32 is available for this purpose.

Question 1:  Does anyone know if the standard LC driver provided
by DEC (normally used for card readers) can be used without too
much difficulty for this application?

Question 2:  Does anyone know of another Digital-supplied driver
that could be used?

Question 3:  Has anyone ever tried to use the DMF32 parallel port
driver called XIDRIVER (provided by DECUS)?  The program was
authored in January 1983 by Kwang H. Kim of R.C.A. in Burlington,
Massachusetts.

Question 4:  Has anyone heard of any known bugs/fixes to the
XIDRIVER described above, or the author's current whereabouts
or electronic mail address(es)?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
