     I posted this request before and got a few responses, but the
solutions, though greatly appreciated, weren't quite what I needed.
I will try to make my problem more clear.

What I need is a program that accepts and regulates input from the
COM1 or COM2 port and sends this input to LPT port.  The program
must be able to accept COM port speeds of at least 9600 baud.
Also, the program should be able to send XOFF and XON to tell the
machine sending to the COM port to stop, so the printer on THIS
computer can catch up.  In short, I need a spooler.  But instead of
a file being printed, input from a COM port is.

Any suggestions, solutions, ideas, or knowledge of a program that
does this would be again GREATLY appreciated. 8^]

Also, one the people that sent me code and mentioned a FOSSIL driver.
David thank you for your input.  Mentioning like this because I
can't access UUCP addresses.
