Hello, Has anyone had any luck connecting a printer to a bridge terminal server?? Also, We have a spectrometer that will run kermit. I'd like to be able to have it run kermit and be connected to a port on a bridge terminal server. My question is: Could any other node on the ethernet gain access to the spectrometer, assuming it was running kermit and in "server" mode? Any information on these topics would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached as follows: By US Mail or Voice: Mike Leccarde New Methods Research, Inc. 719 East Genesee Street Syracuse, NY 13210 315-424-0329 or by E-mail: uunet!nmri!mike -or- mike@cmx.npac.syr.edu or via the net. Thankyou

>Has anyone had any luck connecting a printer to a bridge terminal >server?? We have a printer connect like this (cs/200 is a bridge terminal server): mini --> cs/200 <--> net <--> cs/200 --> printer This uses the permanent virtual circut facility and has proven to be very robust. I have also experimented with a connection like this: mini <--> net <--> cs/200 --> printer This should definitly be feasible but will require changes in the host spooler depending on the operating system. >Also, We have a spectrometer that will run kermit.

Don't know much about this, but the cs/200 can be highly invisible. If you can connect two PCs directly with a RS232 cable you should be able to put two cs/200's and a net in between. I believe a cs/100 is functionally equivalent to a cs/200. --Jesper --------------------------------------------------- Jesper L.
