In case anyone cares, I wrote the print server interface
coded to drive an epson style printer with the parallel
printer interface on the SPE board.  It worked ok, but
haven't used it for awhile.  If you want this, mail me,
and I can reply with the source, or maybe even post
it, as it is fairly short.

While I'm talking, I may as well ask if anybody has
had trouble with X11.  Locally, some people are using
it, so we copied the /usr/x tree to our big ring, and
are having troubles.  Bascially, xterm dies when any
keystroke is typed.  I can cut and paste characters into
the command line, so I know the IPC stuff is working
ok.  Apparently, this is a problem that others have had
and fixed, but they cannot remember the fix.  Any ideas
or soluutions would be greatly appreciated.
