How can I share a postscript printer between localtalk and serial inputs? I think I read about some hardware that arbitrates between the two inputs. I also seem to remember that some printers do the arbitration themselves. I'd like a system that doesn't require any manual changes to switch between the two inputs. Incidently, I know about the programs GatePost and Janus. Besides not having an extra Mac floating around to dedicate for this purpose, my experience with GatePost wasn't good. Thanks, Brion email: brion@homxb.att.com or brion@honet9.att.com
