I have exactly the same problem!  I've got a MacII with a kinetics
Etherport card.  The Columbia stuff sounds good except I don't have
a Fastpath (and don't need it with the Etherport card).  NCSA Telnet/Ftp
works for many things. It would be nice to print directly from an
application rather than print postscript to a file and ftp it to the print
spooler machine.
