I really wish there were a way to glue Ken Yapp's 'pprd' program
that turns a pc into a dedicated print spooler (lpd or jetdirect
protocol) into kermit or one of the other DOS telnet programs.
I have lots of old PC's that could be used to drive printers from
network connections but I'd like to also have a telnet session from
the same location to log into the host and control the spooler.
Does such a thing already exist? I might try it myself but I
don't have the right compiler to build kermit or NCSA telnet.
Cutcp might work, though. Is anyone maintaining it?
