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.
