[Sheflug] [OT, slightly] Parallel port network interfaces?

["Chris J/#6" <nospam [at] nccnet.co.uk>]

Can anyone answer this ... are there in existance devices that connect to 
parallel ports and take wither 10baseT or 10base2 network cable? Reason - 
I've got this rather old laptop that must have been created in the primordial 
soup in the early years, or maybe before, PCMCIA existed. As such, it doesn't 
have one...so the only realistic way of networking it, short of running huge 
lengths of serial cable about, is an adaptor like this.

Secondly, if they exists, where from and how much? :)

Thirdly ... although I'll be churning through the linux kernel tree myself 
not long after hitting "send" on this, anyone know what the linux support is 
like for them? :)

Chris...
