I can't imagine I'm the only one that wants to up a LaserJet on the
ether.  Are there any ethernet cards available for the HP LaserJet II
series that plug into one of the spare slots in the back?

The problem is that downloading a one page bitmap (eg. ghostscript
output) involves moving a megabyte of data.  This comes out to over 9
minutes for the download alone at 19.2 baud.  This is a bit too long
for my tastes and tends to slow the 8ppm printing down a bit.  ;-)

No - using the LJ Centronics port isn't really an option for me.  I am
running on an Sparc SLC which only has serial, SCSI and ethernet
connections.
