[comp.sys.mac.comm] Anyone use Silverplatter?

APPLEREP@MTUS5.BITNET (03/24/91)

Howdy folks!

I have someone who would like to convert an office over to Macintosh.  (They
are currently using a Compaq 286 and a  Victor 9000.)  Part of their set-up
is a daisywheel printer that they use for doing multi-part forms.  I heard that
a product from LaCie called Silverplatter would let them share serial devices
on the network (yes, the printer does have a serial port).

So, does anyone have any experience with using Silverplatter with a daisywheel
printer?  Any conflicts with the daisywheel driver you can get from Microsoft
for Word?  Is that driver a general purpose driver, or does it just work with
Word?  Would SuperLaserSpool work with such a set-up for spooling?  Is a para-
graph with only questions in it grammatically legal?

Thanks alot for the help,
