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)
