- Yes,
- I am currently looking at three products:
- Microplex M200/M201 default config 2 serial and 1 parallel
- Axis AX-5 default config 1 serial 1 parallel
- Lantronix EPS1 default config 1 serial and 1 parallel
-
- Axis:
- I currently have an evaluation unit from Axis. it does true LPD and
- Novell print services. It does what it advertises.
- 508-777-7957 or info@axisinc.com
-
- microplex:
- They are next on the list for evaluation. It currently supports
- LPD and Novell support has been announced.
- 604-875-1461, 800-665-7798 or sales@microplex.com
-
- Lantronix:
- "Support for Novell, TCP/IP, Ethertalk (Appletalk), LAT"
- They are last on the list.
