Here's what I'd like to do under DV'386 (with QEMM): set up a process which
will spool output from our Unix network (say a FrameMaker PostScript file from
someone's Sun), feed it into Ultrascript on my '386 AT-bus machine (8Mb RAM),
and print it on an HP LaserJet II connected via LPT1.  I'll be getting a
vanilla Ethernet card and a TCP/IP package for the '386.

Can this be done fairly painlessly, or should I seriously think about getting
a hardware PostScript board for the LJII and hooking it directly to the
network (with a PostScript Unix printcap)?

Thanks for any answers.  I made a similar query to comp.lang.postscript and
comp.text a month ago, but neither the replies nor a host of phone calls
has turned up a definitive answer for me to summarize.
