Well, I must apologize for my incorrect postings about Beame's BWNFS. As Carl pointed out, there *is* a program, BWTIME, which sets the PC clock. Although there is no mention of this command in TFM, I should have looked more closely at the programs supplied on disk, esp. when I saw that Carl does support configuration for a time server. As for my posting about printing, BWNFS does have a hotkey combination to flush the print queue. I do however, still prefer Sun's idea of using drive letters as windows to the print queue, which BWNFS does not support. While still on the subject of printing, I should add that I am very impressed with Beame's NET PRTSETUP command, which will send a string (or the contents of a specified file) to the printer before all print jobs. This allows printer initialization strings, etc to be sent before the actual file. All in all, I think Beame has a very good product. If Sun cannot improve its current system, especially the ditty with serial numbers, BWNFS looks like the way to go.
