Yes, we run a SS-1 as a discless client first served by another SS-1. The advice I give: Don't do this!! It causes system crashes on both systems sometimes, specially if the server SS-1 is used as printer server for a LW using transcript(tm) too. Now it is being served by a 4/280 - runs fine now !!!

I think your problem is that the laser printer should be off-loaded to the diskless node; the server SS-1 is doing too much! We have a 3/60 serving 3 SS-1's and get away with it because we have internal (local) disks to cut down on swaps over the network. Plus, we're a VLSI lab so our work is highly compute-bound. Gary L.
