Sure.  Call APDA and get ahold of APDA#KMS002 Aysnchronous LaserWriter Driver
package.  It consists of a LaserWriter driver which can be configured to
drive a modem, a direct connect rs232 line and a host of other possibilities.
I have played with it and it seems to work just fine, though when we haven't
managed to convince it to work when connected via a PRINTMASTER box (lets two
computers talk to one printer using timeouts and xon/xoff to keep them from
mixing up their output).  We are still working on it.  I also fear that I
will have to wait longer for updates of the standard laserwritter to the
asynch laserwriter.  But it does seem to work.  Imagin, a DIALUP laser-
writer!! You could produce the output, but you couldn't see it till someone
delievered it.  How about, call up the campus, start the output, driver over
arriving just as it finishes.. Ah, well, enough babbling, I hope this helps.
