There has been a lot of talk on this newsgroup about ways to share LaserWriters in a heterogenous network of PC's, UNIX boxes, and Macs. Terms like FastPath and GatorBox keep coming up, and I am wondering if the DAYNA product is a proper substitute for these rather pricey items. We propose to connect a NEC LC890 Silentwriter to our Ethernet for shared access. The net contains a SGI Iris workstation which, cliould, in a pinch be used as a server. The DAYNA box might be better solution in some ways. Please e-mail summaries of experience, opinions, are advice to JOHNBARNES@ENH.NIST.GOV or JOHN@POLY1.NIST.Gov
