Don't worry, I've networked my Linux box with a windows machine, and it
didn't catch anything.  ;-)

There are PLIP drivers for DOS, but as far as I know none for Windows. 
But I would suggest using network cards, as PLIP is *slow*.  My guess is
that there are people on this list that have old 10MB combo cards that
they would be happy to sell for a nominal fee or even give away.  I
certainly have some spare co-ax, but no spare cards yet, sorry :-(
