From Googling, Lvlug:-
I got to keep this. The sign of a true geek. Not only is this a bunch of cryptic junk, it's a bunch of cryptic junk that works.

If I plug a modem into the parallel port of a computer with Linux, what would be the string for the config of a program to locate it?
/dev/tty?
Depends on your kernel version. 2.4 has a new dev filesystem so things are a bit different. The following perl script should configure it for you.
#!/usr/bin/perl @P=split//,".URRUUxR";@d=split//,"\nem gniddik eb ot toG ev'uoY";sub p{@p{"r$p","u$p"}=(P,P );pipe"r$p","u$p";$p++;($q*=2)+=$f=!fork;map{$P=$P[$f|6&ord$p{$_}];$p{$_}=/ $P/i? $P:close$_}%p}p;p;p;p;p;map$p{$_}=~/[P.]/&&close$_,%p;wait until$?;map/r/&&<$_>, %p;print$d[$q]
