  Does anyone know of an AUX: like device that uses the PARALLEL port instead of
 the SERIAL port?!?                                                    

  Why? I have two Amiga 2000's sitting here, both using the serial ports (one
 running a BBS 24 hrs, the other running UUCP 3-4 hrs). What id like to do is
 run a cable between the PARALLEL port of both machines (similar to a RS-232
 null modem cable). Then using an AUX: like device and special terminal prog-
 ram access machine B from machine A. 

  Possible? Hell if I know, thats why I asked you :-). Im open to suggestions,
 comments, and or code samples.

  I know this method is limited by allowing for only one way communications
 with no file transfer, but thats all I need. My desk is just too small for
 2 keyboards and 2 monitors!
