: Hello:
: I am looking for a print server, internal card or external box, that
: will allow me to do reverse telnet print to a printer. The jet-direct
: cards that we have now, only allow you to telnet to port 9100 and
: dump screen data to them. they won't allow you to send a stream of
: data to them. any sugestion would be greatly appreciated.

I recommend the Axis NPS 550, an external box with 2 parallel and 1
serial port. Does LPD, FTP, reverse Telnet, and named pipes for Unix. I
am running 2 of them on SunOS 4.1.3 and they are working great. They also
support Lan Server/Manager, Appletalk, and Novell concurrently if you
need that. All the Unix stuff is in ROM, and you FTP it back to your
host. They run ads in most Unix magazines; email me if you need vendor
contact info.
