Intel AnyPoint Home Network (Parallel Port)

The Intel AnyPoint Home Network is a powerful, simple and fast networking for the multiple-PC home. Enjoy the convenience of simultaneous Internet sharing, printer sharing and drive sharing, as well as the fun of multi-player gaming, without dedicated network wiringi?{1/2} or a network administrator.The AnyPoint Home Network Parallel Port Model is an external home networking adapter that connects to a PC's parallel port, and a nearby telephone jack - without requiring the user to open the PC. It features a printer pass-through port that can be used to connect a printer to the PC while the home networking adapter uses the PC's parallel port. The Parallel Port Model is easy to install and use on all PCs that meet the listed system requirements. Consumers will find this option particularly appealing if they have an older PC without a PCI bus, or if they prefer not to open their PCs to install new hardware. With the Parallel Port Model there are no hard-to-use ISA slots or hard-to-solve IRQ conflicts. The Parallel Port Model for 2 PCs contains two external parallel port adapters and everything needed to create a home network for two PCs and their printers. The Parallel Port Model for 1 PC contains everything needed to add a PC to an existing home phone line network, or to create a home network when one PC already has compatible home phone line networking capability. (PCs must meet system requirements.) PCs with the Parallel Port Model can be easily networked with PCs that are equipped with the AnyPoint Home Network PCI Card. The PCI Card should be selected when an internal solution is preferred, or the parallel port is needed for a peripheral other than a printer.
