Dump Windows and use Linux or one of the BSDs. Any of these are more reliable and definately less expensive. Why pay MS a license for such a minor use? Linux comes with the "pr3287" command which emulates a coax 3287 printer over TCPIP. I've done this in test mode. But, of course, it was not implemented here. We spent more money and time buying a package. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
