I have exactly the same problem! I've got a MacII with a kinetics Etherport card. The Columbia stuff sounds good except I don't have a Fastpath (and don't need it with the Etherport card). NCSA Telnet/Ftp works for many things. It would be nice to print directly from an application rather than print postscript to a file and ftp it to the print spooler machine. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =- Quentin Johnson ISU Computer Science Department =- -= Internet: quent@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu -= =- UUCP: {uunet!umix!sharkey, hplabs!hp-lsd}!atanasoff!quent =- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
