Does anybody know a possibility to redirect the LPT1 line from MSDOS to UNIX? The DOS system is connected to UNIX via serial line, but the serial line should also be used for logging into the UNIX system and working there with a terminal emulator used under MSDOS. Has anybody already programmed such a redirector, maybe assuming that the user has already logged into the UNIX system, but is NOT currently working over the terminal emulator? That means, the redirector should either write to a temporary file, which can then be printed explicitely by a printer flush command or is been automatically flushed after some time. I think of a similar redirector as the one being used by SUN's PC-NFS, but NOT using SLIP. I will post a summary if there are more alternatives. Thanks in advance Ralf.
