Howdy!  

My room-mate has just purchased a new Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR for  
his Mac IIci, and so I was wondering if there is some way we can  
simultaneously connect both my NeXTstation and his Mac to the printer.  In  
other words, does the NTR have an "all ports active" feature that will  
allow me to connect to it via a serial line while my roommate connects  
with an AppleTalk cable?  Will we both be able to give the printer  
different names?  Finally, does anyone know where I can get a NeXT  
Null-Modem Cable (MiniDIN-8 to DB-25)?  NeXTConnection?  How much?

Thanks Much,

Don Siegel
