Gidday...

Small problem. In some buildings, we have a number of PCs connected to ethernet
(via PCSA) and have previously not needed any async connections. However, if we
wish to very put a printer or two into the building, we currently have to
sacrifice a whole terminal server.

Possible solution - have a cheap old XT with ethernet card, programmed to act
as a dedicated print server (basically a very simple LAT terminal server,
with one dedicated LAT service). To save me some time, I was kinda hoping
somebody would have already written the code to do such a thing.
