The 'Subject:' says it all really. I'm looking for some sort of formal spec of the TCP-IP lineprinter system. I know there's an RFC to cover most of the other TCP-IP services, is this one covered too?

It's relatively recent, August 1990, so it may no be available from everywhere. -- Ricard Wolf +--------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Ricard Wolf | Lund Institute of Technology | | email: e85rw@efd.lth.se | If you can't buy 'em - build 'em !! | +--------------------------+-------------------------------------+
