Nope, and at the risk of telling you how to suck eggs {:-). 1a) Search the mac address and see who it is assigned to, 1b) find out what other print servers they made 1c) treat as that file server of that period. 2a) I googled and came up with only one web page that mentioned it http://www.satotech.com.au/products_networking_print-server.htm 2b) looking at specs, try treating it as Axis 560 or 2c) Intel version thingy <shudder> Net??? (I'll undoubtedly think of after sending ). Axis boxen allowed FTP, telnet and web configuration, so you might try telnet and HTTP as well. Axis had a "config" file that was text which you ftp/get, edited, ftp/put, reboot. 3) Try connecting with a Novell Netware server. 4) buy a Axis 3 way print server to replace it (or whatever one you like) -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} email: terryc at woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures <Bicycles, Computers, Outdoors, Publishing> "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
