XP LPT1 Keying (Userport)

All needed Userport files are on the PJ2T Software CD in /Userport and there should also be a /Userport folder on each PJ2T machine in the C:/ root.

Go here to get directions on how to install Userport on an XP machine. This worked successfully on a Dell XP on 10 February 2009.
