I have a user who wishes to log in on our Unix system over modem on a
Macintosh.  He has a LaserWriter and wishes to use it for printouts.
This means lpr is out, since that will be on the Mac on not the Unix
system.  I presume that there are terminal programs with the capability
of either capturing screen output to a file for later printing, or
logging screen output directly to the printer.  Am I correct?  What
programs will do this (or something equivalent)?

Additional plusses would be:
	VT100 emulation
	vi support (boils down to: is an escape key provided).

Thanks,
Paul DuBois
