Does anyone have an Aegis 9.2 print server that sends
its files over a COM-ETH Ethernet to a Berkeley 4.3BSD
line printer spooler?  That is, I want to say 'prf' on
an Apollo DN3000 and have the file printed on a VAX 11/780
running 4.3BSD.

Alternatively, can I write such a program myself?  I know
how to write Apollo print servers, but I don't know (1) how
to talk to the 'tcp_server' process, or (2) what I would
have to say to it in order to set up a connection to the
4.3BSD line printer daemon.
