Re: connections to a 4050.  How about Ethernet?  You might also contact
the following:

	1 - Skip Grandy at Univ. Pittsburg 412-624-6355.  He has a high
	    speed serial connect from Vax to 8700 (similar only, but he
	    has lots of lore)
	    
	2 - ACC, a company who makes protocol converters, 805-963-9431
	
	3 - SPUR, similar to ACC.
	
Interesting that you use Prime.  Have you called them?  I know our
ublishing Unit has a Prime and prints on a 9700, but am not sure how
they are connected.  Try calling 619-271-4050, but since its a
development unit, don't expect hand holding or "customer support".  (I
probably shouldn't have given you the phone number.)

As to software...  There is a Tex DVI-to-Interpress converter from
Berkeley (Mike Harrison, VORTEX project).  I believe there is
Scribe-to-Interpress via Unilogic.  You can get Unix
Titroff-to-Interpress and a complete Interpress Toolkit from the Xerox
Systems Institute (or me).  Not sure what else might be of interest.
