Artecon advertises that "ArteTHS", their Ethernet terminal server software, "transform[s] ethernet-based ports into local serial ports." Essentially, they have a driver in the kernel which allows you to attach modems or printers to their terminal server, but to get at them from the Sun as though they were connected directly. 1-800-USA-ARTE. On another approach, you can buy laser printers, such as those of Imagen, which sit directly on the net. They provide the necessary software to make this work. Imagen also has PostScript, I believe. [[ They call it "UltraScript", but it's a work-alike. It ain't cheap, tho. --wnl ]] Scott Menter Sr. Network Admin, Shearson Lehman Hutton escott@shearson.com uunet!slcpi!escott
