I have a switch box on my modem port to switch between the modem and the Laserwriter. I leave slot 2 selected to your card and slot 7 to Built in Appletalk. So all I have to do is hit the switch when I want to print on the laser. The problem I have encountered is that when slot 7 is set to Appletalk, once I get connected to any BBS or the Schools IBM, I get garbage like there is an incredible amount of line noise. Once I set slot 7 bact to your card and reboot, Proterm works fine. Do any of the Apple people in the System Group have any reasons that this is happening??? Also, I have tested sending mail from my Bitnet account to my Compuserve and back and it worked!!!!! I will post the messages with the mail headers if anyone wants it. The destination address from Bitnet that I used is: 74046.1304%Compuserve.com@saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu I can't remember the return address that Compuserve used to get mail from Compuserve back to me, but I will pass it on later.
