- I got such a demo from our dealer in Holland, it had no server programs
- at all. It is version 2.30 (so says the disk..), and the manual stuff
- does not say anything about servers, either.
-
- So, being really pissed at this, I installed KA9Q/NOS 2.00m (by Gerard
- van der Grinten, PA0GRI), and that machine now acts as a standalone LPD
- server for my EPSON LX-800 on PRN/LPT1:, and my HP DeskJet500 on LPT2:.
- Works fine...
-
- However, I think that a server running under BW-TCP would be a lot
- faster. So, can either "B" or "W" shed some light on this?
-
- Fred.
