- I don't think there is any reason for a war over this issue. How about having
- more than a couple of dozen nodes, and no money for FDDI everywhere ?
-
- An alternative solution to the problem would be to use the relatively new
- feature in Multinet ( or the one from Process Software) to have a pseudo-
- device which connects to the port on the server. Than you can use a symbiont
- that thinks it is talking to a TTY (provided it doesn't do ugly things),
- and it will be much less work than converting to LPR or whatever.
- (Haven't tried this yet, though.)
