I got a copy of "netlp" from ISC last September which implements a client-server network lp interface (though I've never tested it). According to the DISCLAIMER that came with the software, it was an unsupported and freely copyable work. Perhaps someone at ISC could elaborate on the status and availablility of this program here in this forum. I hesitate to send out a copy of "netlp" if it has been significantly improved and/or has become a bona-fide ISC product. -Rick -- Rick Richardson | Looking for FAX software for UNIX/386 ???
