Yea, I thought about that, and I might still.... Kind of wanted a
system for print serving to handle rendering postscript and feeding it
down the parallel port to the printer. Also for the less than half the
price of a print server, I can buy a used 386DX40, IDE controller, HD, NIC
and case/ps, drop Linux on it, and away one goes.
Just thought I would use the Sparc IPX instead of going and
digging up a 386. Thanks for your help anyway.
