Can any one out there help me ...
We have numerous PCs, Unix and VMS machines talking to each other with TCP/IP.
We can use lpr/lpd to print to a UNix host. But now we must support MACs
What is available to do this in the MAC world? We have no TCP product for
MACs (yet). Tho the usual share/free products are available on campus.
Does NCSA Telnet have lpr as in the PC version?
Also what ethernet boards are available for the MAC IIcx/fx?
What ether-boxes are favoured for MAC Plus/SEs?

I have been testing a product from Stanford University (SU-Mac/IP) that has an lpr that runs as a desk accessory. It seems to work fine. I don't have an address, but on-line docs are supposedly available via anon. ftp from jessica.stanford.edu. You could check there for more info. MacTCP is the preferred tcp product for Macs. |> Also what ethernet boards are available for the MAC IIcx/fx? There are a lot of boards available. We use Apple's for II series machines. |> What ether-boxes are favoured for MAC Plus/SEs? We use Novell/Kinetics EtherPort boards for SE's. The boards aren't bad, but it takes forever and costs a bunch to have them repaired by Novell. We've also tried NuvoTech's SCSI adaptors for SE's that already have their slot used for a large display. They seem to work ok, though obviously slower than an internal board. Good luck.
