Most everything worls toelrably well. But I'm surprised to note what seems to be a serious omission. No support for a remote printer (a la printcap under BSD). Now, I have the tcp/ip software for the same board to run under MS-DOS and Interlan DOES supply an lpr command that permits queing to a remote print server. Why not under Xenix? FYI, I plan to take this up with my Interlan dealer as well, but I took it to the 'net because I'm more optimistic of getting some sort of real result this way. Maybe it's better to buy direct from Interlan than from a dealer -- then you can at least wait on hold trying to get phone support! Any contribution to my knowledge base would be appreciated.
