- Has anyone done this yet? How about full terminal server support
- so you could hang a couple of modems off a PC anywhere on the network
- and access them from anywhere else? Or simple printer pass-through
- using a netbios connection instead of TCP on the PC end? It seems
- to me like this could be done with an option to let the PC send
- it's jobs directly to the LPT port instead of over the network and
- back, using a simple timeout to interleave jobs.
