[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Bridge Terminal Server

mike@cmx.npac.syr.edu (Mike Leccarde) (07/14/89)

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:

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.

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.

We have system running under BSD UNIX that allows access to printers that
are connected to bridges... It's available via anon. ftp from tukki.jyu.fi
(128.214.7.5). The file name is /pub/local/etherprint.tar.Z.

This program is not complete but it works :-)
