- Yes. Extended Systems (208.322.7575 Voice, 208.377.1906 Fax) sells the
- ESI-2866A which supports both Netware & EtherTalk at the same time. It
- also has a 10BaseT and a 10Base2 connector. And it automatically
- switches between PCL and PS. This last feature is really nice, because
- the JetDirect card we had in our IIIsi before we bought the 2866A
- relied on setting up 2 Netware Print Job Queues to switch the
- emulation. We killed many, many trees when PC users would print PS
- while capturing to the PCL job queue.
-
- For TCP/IP I have CAP 6.0 printing to EtherTalk printers from a SPARCstation.
- I don't know if Extended Systems has an adapter which also supports TCP/IP.
