Ok, here's a bunch of questions, some of which might be (at least one is) in
the FAQ, but I can't get at the FAQ now, so, sorry in advance.

1> I have a PC (urgh 8-) and a NeXT mono - want to hook both into an HP IIIP
w/ PS Level 2 cartridge.  Anyone know if you can make the IIIP respond to both
the serial port and the parallel port automatically? Or do I have to change
the settings some how? Anyone do this and find a good system to use?

2> Related to 1, what exactly do I have to do to hook up to the IIIP? I got
a 040 modem cable, I need to make a printcap entry, right? Anyone got one
they can send me?

3> Can you hook a mono monitor to a color station? How about the reverse?
Also, where can you buy a cable to hook a color up to a Nanoi T-560i?

4> Any way to make the NeXT CD-Rom player play through the Monitor's (or
sound box's) RCA ports rather than its own?  Yes, I've played with CDPlayer
and CDAudio, but I would like to go through the NeXT...

5> You know how when you print out something (say, a view) and it's bigger
than the page, it splits it onto multiple pages?  It seems to screw up a lot
for me, splitting only horizontally, I believe.  Is this fixed in 3.0?

6> Anyway to draw using alpha mode with normal PS code? By that I mean without
using composite....

7> Is there any Fax software for the Supra Fax Modem, NOW? I know there were
two companies working on it, but I haven't heard if they actually have a
product yet.

Sorry if this is a waste of bandwidth.

Please excuse any spelling errors, grammatical errors, lapse of judgement,
general stupidity, or lack of sanity.

Thanks,

Dan Hartman
