Syslinux - Dec 2004 - How to get the /proc/parport????

Hi, I am new to Linux.  Had installed a RedHat Linux
7.3 from the CD.  I need to set up the parallel port
for communication to another DOS PC.  Saw a HowTo
guide on PLIP and it mentioned .../proc/parport/.... 
But there is no such path.  Had tried the insmod and
still can't get it work.  Did I miss some step when I
first install the Linux OS?  Should I install
something like kernel or core rpm files?????  Thanks.

perhaps /proc/parport is specific to kernel 2.6 family? Or not compiled in your
stock kernel?
Your Redhat is ancient by now, version 9 is out, and Fedora Core also (public
testing experimental releases by Redhat).
