ht try using dual ports off the ATs (a lot of them now
come with two RS232 ports. You could then build a smart switch nework

smart printer switch (such as available from COMPUADD) on your printer
port and have it poll the UNIX network and the PC network. (That way it
would be feasible to run parts of both at the same time).
