Two questions:

Is there a simple way to configure the spooler to send out a different
header page than the standard one?  I want to restore the serial
printer to a known state before starting a listing.  Alternatively,
Is there an option to filter special characters out?  I'm hoping not
to have to dive into the spooler code and couldn't find any mention
of these things in the manuals.

Also, there is an implication that DCL handles loss of Carrier Detect
to log off a remote users.  Is there a modification to allow jobs to
be detached and picked up with another logon (password etc) in case
of accidents?
