1. We have PC-NFS installed and tried to use the LPD on the PC's
but ..


	We have AT&T UNIX so the deamon provided did not work and
	will have to be ported.

	The LPD TSR takes up 128 K whicj puts a heck of a crimp
	on memory when one adds up the drivers.

Not a very good option at all ... UNIX spools great so we decided
to put a UNIX box near our users and connect printers near enough
to their workstation where as the LPD point is mute ....
