Part two was software.  I got a *lot* of responses on this one.

One person suggested using Scribe, because it is easy to learn.

EVERYONE else suggested I use LaTeX, because:
	It's free (and no yearly support hassles)
	It produces better output than Scribe
	The LaTeX macros make TeX as easy to learn as Scribe.

I oversimplified a bit, but those are the general comments.

Ok, now time for part three, the question.  In my first posting I asked in
passing about Ethernet.  I got very few recommendations, the one or two
that had opinions were not highly in favor for reasons I do not remember,
and I since removed all correspondence.  So I ask you again:

	Do you have your printers on Ethernet?  If so, why?  What problems
	have you had?  Are you generally satisfied with your setup?  What
	would make you switch?
	If you do not use Ethernet, answer the above also.

I am asking this again because I have rec'd a steady stream of requests
from people asking me to clarify by admittedly vague statement in the
first summary.  Please help, I will summarize all answers rec'd by 1/21/86.
