I just read an article (re: LocalTalk LaserWriters) in which someone mentioned
a product from Dayna called EtherPrint which would put a LaserWriter directly
onto an ethernet segment. The guy didn't seem to know any of the details, so
I'm asking everybody :-)
o Are there any other products doing this sort of thing?
o What hardware & software is involved?
o What is the cost? OK, now how about in Australian dollars?
o Is there an Australian distributor?
It seems to me that the usefulness of this product depends on its price and
on how many LaserWriters you've got. If, for argument's sake, EtherPrint
costs ~$1000/LW and a Multigate/KBox/GBox costs ~$4000, then it's cost-effective
to get EtherPrint for up to 3 LWs. However, if you have four or more LWs then
you may as well get a Multigate.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
