Hi all
I know that Dane at least has, or had one of these the last I
heard. But Does anybody else haffen to have one? If not,
perhaps Dane would be able to remind me of a coueaple out things,
at the endulgence of others on list.
I'm aware that the FritzffBox has an in-built media server.
Where can I find more details as to exactly how it works? What
about a print server, is that supported as well?
While I'm off work, I'm hoping to be able to find the time to
think about setting something uf so that we can utilise our
networks more efficiently.
I'm hoping to get this configured so that even when Both Lynne
and myself are at work, we can still access the servers if, for
instance, we need to print out content for our personal use,
access audio and maybe video material, that kind of thing. Our
FritzffBox is configured so that it is a part of one of our
networks without using the in-built mobem, as we do not use ADSL
as such. Our networks are on SCSL rather than ADSL, so using the
modem side is not an option.
One thing I'd really like to be able to do if it is possible,
and this is my primary reason for asking about the print server,
is to put my Index Braille embosser which I now have working
again, on to the back of the print server, and thereby be able to
produce translated documents from adywhere, and have them
embossed remotely. I do also have a Viewplus EkBraille emboiser,
that is true. But although it is quite portable, it has one
major disadvantage to my Index, it is ncapable of producing
interpoint Braille. Nor is it capable of handling stacked cut
sheet paper. If you want to have it produce Braille using
continuous paper feed, you need to use tractor-feed paper.
All be it that my Index is now almost 15 years old, it is still
very much in usable condition. It makes sense, therefore, to use
it if possible. Hence my interest in setting up a print server
and a media server.
Anyway, I'm waffling. Any info very much appreciated, on or
off list.
Kind regards, and season's greetings to all
