Sorry if you already know this - there Hmmm. I'm running Win3 and PC-NFS 3.5 and just yesterday got network mounted printers working on my PC. The LJ III is connected to a 286 running DOS (finally - a real use for a 286!). It works just fine and I didn't define any printers as LPTx.OS2 (it'll probably quit working now that my PC has found out that it's required :-). I'm very impressed with this. I'm gonna buy me a LJ IIIsi to put on this 286. Already got approval. I do hate TELNET though. How primitive! No scrolling, function keys, cut/paste to other windows. It keeps crashing on me too. I'll stick to Xtalk for Win for terminal sessions. Marshall -- Marshall L.
