What is CUPS?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS
As I undertand it, then, you want ot have paralle input ports on the
linux box.
no, I am think of using these parallel printer servers connected to
the printers
the classic systems print request is send to the linux box
the linux box sends the print request to the compatibly printer or save it as a pdf file
<snip>
So each classic machine is only outputting data, right? no, I be running web
browsers, telnet terminals, etc
You start out by saying you want to only transfer data from the classic
to the linux box, which to me implies output only on the classic, input
only on the linux bos. Then you want to run web browsers, termianl
emulators ,etc. That implies bidirectional data transfer. Now what
_exactly_ are you tryign to do?

DO you wnate otbe able to transfer data between the
computers?
yes, but only between the classic system and the linux server
