Our department here has many PCs connect through Ethernet, and run NCSA's telnet 2.2TN. We would like to setup a dedicated PC as printer server. The lpr program we got for this 2.2TN prints fine for text files, not for binary files. There is a -l switch for binary files but either it does do anything or just save a file on the server's harddisk. It's it something easy to fix? The server we are using is a Zenth 386-25Mhz. A seperated question. We have several Macintoshes connect by ApplyTalk, and we have to choose connect it to an existing VAX's DECnet by buyinh a bridge, or buying a Ethernet card for one of the Mac, and then connect it to the PC Ethernet. Which way is the better way? Can Macs networked with ApplyTalk be fully connected to a PC Ethernet? IS there some like NCSA's Telnet 2.2TN for Mac? Thanks for any advise. jialin
