Escon Converter? Plenty around and should be dirt cheap. Also, if they are still around check out "Black Box". The Radio Shack of the computer world. Had little boxes (use specific) in mutltiudes of combinations. Cumulatively, they could connect almost anything to anything else.
<snip> I'm currently supporting a printer vendor with a client issue. Their client will not accept TCP/IP printers because they're worried that someone will "tap-in" to the line and pickup the data in the clear. They're insisting on an ESCON/parallel attachment. The printer vendor I'm working with got rid of the parallel interface 5 years ago and doesn't really want to support it. Has anyone ever dealt with this paranoia yet? Do any printers on the market support an SSL interface? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
