Anyone have any experience using a serial printer connected to one of the
serial ports on a terminal server.  The hardware is an RT with a Micom
(Racal) Interlan terminal server.  I would like to print on a printer
connected to the terminal server.

                            ____Ethernet connection
	    -------------  /
	    |           |  |  Terminal server (provides 8 ports)
	    |  RT       |  |  +---------+
	    |           |-----|         |=--PC
	    |           |     |         |=--PC
	    |           |     |         |=--PC
	    |           |     |         |=----- PRINTER_SOMEWHERE_ELSE
	    |           |     |         |=
	    |           |     |         |=
	    |           |     |         |=
	    |           |     |         |=
	    +-----------+     +---------+
 
 SUMMARY: Would like to be able to say "lpr -p07 file" or "lp -drprinter file" 
 and have the file printed on PRINTER_SOMEWHERE_ELSE.  (Logically re-route
 all requests for some arbitrary name to a server port)  Can this be set up
 under TCP-IP, lpadmin, etc on the RT??

Any info would be MUCH appreciated!!  C'mon you gurus.

Plese E-Mail unless you would just rather post.   Thanks...
