While there were cables using the parallel port for communication, they always
needed special software to deal with this. A nul-modem though used to be
serial and as such worked the normal tty stuff.
For parallel I remember that lantastic-z had a parallel cable and there was
some other program under dos which used to use a parallel cable. Forgot the
name, but maybe with a little google and dosbox you have a chance there..
