Don't quote me, but I believe the CNX: handler that runs under ConMan V1.3 will do what you want. Although you may have to write you own device driver (CheapNet.Device??), I have used this with Serial.Device but lacking an ANSI terminal it was of no more use than AUX: so I have been using AUX: . The Parallel.device may work for you, but you would have to write to William S. Hawes for all the details. Andrew@Cup.Portal.Com
