Interesting.. Here at the University of Minnesota, Mpls in the
Computer Science Dept, we are running

	14 IBM /AT , /XT286s		clients,expanded memory
	1  IBM /AT 			server with 2 x 30Mb disk
	1  IBM 3812 pageprinter 	networked, ascii, graphics
	PC-DOS 3.2(3)
	PC-LAN 1.1
	Network Login Program		Home-brew unix-like distributed
					login program
	SMTP				Home-brew Arpanet Mailer.


In any case, we have two paper trays in the 3812, and you can use them
in the same job if necessary. Note that the 3812 is not your generic
"laserwriter". It does look awfully close to a Photocopier (toner,
Dryer) and it is fast !! 12 pages per minute for Text, 8 ppm for
graphics. I am not sure what language it speaks.
