Question:

Here's a situation. We have your common Macintosh II connected to ethernet.
It can be used in conjunction with Telnet to connect to the AT&T Encore
(Unix).

In the same room, there is an Apple LaserWriter, but connected at 9600
baud to the Encore. The unix users often que their documents to the 
Laserprinter.

Is there a software method of allowing the Mac user to print to the
Laserwriter while still connected to the net? Have the Mac documents
print onto the que to allow uninterupted service to both the
Mac(s) and unix users.

What other software is available to help the Mac II to take full advantage
of ethernet? (By the way, i am really hoping somebody can come back with
LOW cost utilities or solutions...)

Thanks. - Chris
