Message-ID: <8811230950.AA01360@ee.UCLA.EDU> Date: 3 Dec 88 21:01:25 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Rice University, Houston, Texas Lines: 11 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: Wed, 23 Nov 88 01:50:02 PST X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 35, message 15 of 18 Is there a way that we can connect a Sun to an Appletalk line so that a Macintosh and Sun can share the same Laserwriter? We would prefer NOT to kermit postscript file between the Sun and the Mac just to get a printout. Thanks. -Kevin (chan@ee.ucla.edu) [[ There is a piece of hardware that we call a "Kinetics box". I don't know what it's marketing name is, but it is put out by Kinetics. It is an Appletalk/Ethernet gateway. Having one of these is an excellent start. But you would still need appropriate printer software. --wnl ]]
