I've been trying to make the NeXT at work talk to the other machines, namely
a Sun.  I tried following the documentation, but the bloody machine didn't
act like the doc said it would.  My problems have been with printers and
mail.

For the printer, I want the nExt to talk to a Sun printer we have.  Nice
thing:  400DPI, PostScript.  The NeXT should love it.  But I can't seem to
get it to talk to it.  Worse, now I've got three entries that I can't get
rid of with PrintManager.  (I can't Configure them.  Very annoying.)  The
documentation seems to just gloss over how to get the NeXT to talk to a
non-NeXT remote printer.

The other problem is with mail.  Using MailManager, I tried to set the next
up as a mail client.  I checked th sendmail.subsidiary.cf file manually, and
it should do what I want.  mailhost is defined in the database properly.
So, I run MailManager, and the only thing it will let me do is set localhost
up as the mail server.  This is *not* what I want to do!

I'm running 2.0, if that makes a difference.  Has anybody got *any*
suggestions for what to do?  *sigh*
