Hello there,

We have a large need to be able to print VMS files on a SUN Unix system 
with numerous printers.  If your site does this in a fluent manner I would 
appreciate hearing from you how it is done or possibly what PD software
is available.

Configuration:

   -----------------                  ----------------
   |  VMS 4.7      |                  |   SUN OS 4.0 | =====> printer1
   |  Excelan      |      TCP/IP      |   3/280      |
   |  ethernet     |------------------|              | =====> printer2
   -----------------                  ----------------

I am aware that Excelan software has some arrangements for printing but 
it appears to have limited capability.  If you know of a better way please 
respond directly to  pyramid!leadsv!ereed.

Much appreciated

Ed
