Login over parallel port?

["Jason H. Smith" <jason@oes.co.th>]

Hi, list.

I want to build a headless server, and of course, in case of a problem, I
want a fallback system to communicate with the server.  However I cannot
use serial, as all serial ports will be in use.  So, my first thought is
to examine that oft-neglected parallel port.

Is there a way I can log into the machine using the parallel port?
Ideally, I want something simple like getty, but a quick investigation
didn't look promising.  I can do plip if I must, but the point is
fallback, and I don't like all that complexity if I can avoid it.

Thanks for any thoughts.
