Since I don't have an Appletalk network to try it out on, I can't vouch
for MacServe's networking capabilities, but I can warn you of an
incompatibility between it and the Parallel Printer Install program
which comes from Apple Computer.  This program is used to alter the
printer driver in MacWorks XL to drive the Apple Dot Matrix Printer
from a parallel port (e.g. on a Lisa / Mac eXLisa 2-Port Parallel Card).
I can understand that MacServe's print spooler wouldn't understand the
parallel printer interface, but I didn't expect that it would fail to
boot the MacServe software properly just because you did install the
parallel printer driver.  As a result, the only thing it's good for
if that is your hardware configuration, is as a hard disk archiver /
restorer.  I've reported the bug to InfoSphere.
