I know I can capture postscript bound for the laserwriter by using CMND-F, and
I can then send it from my mac to one of our local machines which has an
attached LaserWriter, but what a lot of hassle.  As all I have is floppies
I enivitably run out of disk space, adn then I have to do it again etc etc.

So what I think I want is a package that replaces the low level Appletalk driver
with an RS-232 driver.  I could then write something at the other end that sends
all the appropriate replies, and I have a good 19k2 line in my office anyway.

So my question is, does such a driver exist, and if so how do I get it.  I have
found on the SUMEX archives a DA called "Async Appletalk" that seemed to get me
what I want, but didn't as it wanted to attach some system which I know 
anything about, and the documentation gives no real hints to what it doing.

		Thanks in advance for any help,
