Setting Data on the Parallel Port

[Philippine FreeBSD Info]

Is there a simple way to set the D0 to D7 bits on the Parallel Port... 
perhaps with a script I could make into a cron job.  I just want to turn on 
and off some things through out the day.  My buddy does this with his 
WhenDoze? machine and basic, and everyone knows FreeBSD does everything better!

Please respond to my email address, I'm not on the list.
