We have a laserwriter IINT.  We used to switch between appletalk and
the serial (25 pin rs-232) ports by flipping dip switches.  We have
bought a box that should do that switching for us.  Unfortunately, the
dip switches have broken from overuse and the printer is stuck in
appletalk mode.  I have read the manual and it says that this can be
overridden by software, so I figured there must be a postscript
command to do this.  Could anybody please help and tell me 
1.  Does the command exist?
2.  If so, what is it?
3.  Is the change permanent, or at least until the power is recycled?

Thanks for any and all help.
