Dear Netters, Please advise ... Exactly what does EtherPrint/EtherPrint do? A description I have here says ... EtherPrint - Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector with direct connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling. EtherPrint Plus - Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector-4 Port with direct connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling. Now, my questions ... For Ether of the above :-) - does one end up with Localtalk one one side? Never mind what is allowed here. ie, can I have a (long) Localtalk cable on this side to attach my LaserWriter (which comes after a Localtalk connector)? For EtherPrint Plus - does this mean I can have 4 (longish) Localtalk cables going to 4 different LaserWriters? My questions arise from having LaserWriters not being in the same vicinity, and definitely not desired to be in the same location as EtherPrint/EtherPrint+. No, can't hold my breath till June - we already have them ... Thankyou, (please mail too - that way I don't miss a response) Paul Menon, Dept of Computer Science, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, 124 Latrobe Street, Melbourne 3001, Victoria, Australia. pnm@goanna.cs.rmit.oz.au PH: +61 3 660 3209

EtherPrint is an Ethertalk to Appletalk converter. Variety of ethernet cable support on one side and din-8 on the other. I think the Plus model has Localtalk on the other side and handles up to four devices. > Never mind what is allowed here. ie, can I have a (long) Localtalk cable > on this side to attach my LaserWriter (which comes after a > Localtalk connector)? On the Etherprint plus maybe... Why not run the ethernet cable ??? > > For EtherPrint Plus - does this mean I can have 4 (longish) Localtalk cables > going to 4 different LaserWriters? Looks that way, but not quite sure on the cable length limit. -- | Tasuki Hirata (sukes@eng.umd.edu) | - This page intentionally left blank - | | UUCP: uunet!eng.umd.edu!sukes | |
