However, I had some issues with the AsanteTalk. Sometimes, for some reason, on of my 3 Mac wouldn't see the printers on the LocalTalk side. As such, I had a few times to unplug the thing in order to reset it. It doesn't happen very frequently, and I haven't found the cause, but it's sometimes annoying when you try to print only to realize that the computer doesn't see the printer for some reason... Just a word of caution, plus depending on what you're printing, you have to assume that there is a severe drop in speed from Ethernet to LocalTalk... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cargo cult programming n.: A style of (incompetent) programming dominated by ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose.
