Birmy Graphics has products that work just fine with ethernet. Dealer's
install standard ethernet cards and the Birmy queue station software
does the rest. For UNIX dealer can setup the Birmy queue stations with
PCNFS. Works great - and fast. Also - the Birmy can read from eight (8)
separate ethernet areas at a time, plus 4 appletalk "client!"
