I know that Ubix copiers have a "scan to email" function... Perhaps it can email you something from the document server.

The installers put a zyxel router betwwen the two switches. From my investigations it allows packets from my side to their side, the printer is on their side. It does not appear to allow packets from their side to mine. i simply need to route packets directed to their subnet to the ip address of the zyxel router. This should be tidied up by restricting access from my network to their network to be only to the ip address of the printer, and only to the ports needed - whatever is needed for smb, http [1], and i see port 515 is open too. I can presumably access their computers at least by ip address, even if i cannot network smb browse across subnets. However I am not interested in doing so. Anyway i have physical access to the network and could, if i had those tendencies, physically plug into their switch. the cupboard is next to my office. At least they cannot go the other way, I have never had a virus, they have! [1] yes the printer has a web server. funnily enough port 25 is open on it too, i know it allegedly has some ability to email scans. dunno why that means port 25 needs to be open to the lan though? > > > Anyway lets be practical and remember that the cost of a network > > card and a metre or two of CAT-5 is less than that of a Professional > > Luncheon for one, let alone all members of the Practice. > > A metre or two?
