If you look at the ifhp code, you will discover the connections are CLOSED and then REOPENED before being passeed to the programs. This handles the problem. Had to think about this one and then test it. If you are eager to try this: ftp://ftp.lprng.com/pub/LPRng/ifhp/ifhp-3.5.8alpha3.tgz Patrick ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
