[This idea comes from the Mac world.] Does anyone know of software that would allow a PC with TCP/IP access to function as a unix lpr server? That is, the PC would support the Berkeley Line Printer protocol and accept unix print jobs. Ideally, the printer could be attached directly to the PC or accessible to it over a LAN. -- Rick Troxel | All effort and exertion put forth by man from the fullness rick@helix.nih.gov| of his heart is worship, if it is prompted by the highest 301/496-4823 | motives and the will to do service to humanity.

Their address is: FTP Software Inc. 26 Princess Street Wakefield, MA 01880 Phone: (617) 246-0900 From what I understand, the ExeceLan (spelling???) ethernet net comes with TCP/IP software (the card is an intelligent card and the bulk of the TCP/IP software runs on the card). I do not have their address though. -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.
