We are a beta test sight for an XPS (Xerox Publishing System) and some time
ago obtained a software package called XPSFILE from Xerox Australia which
supposedly allows file transfer and possibly other services with the XPS from
a PC with a 3COM 3C503 Etherlink II Ethernet card. 

An XPS we believe uses a subset of XNS which does not have the full file, print
and mail services hence why we possibly cant use XNSFILE or PCPLUS unless we
install an XNS file server. On the same network we also are using 2 XPIW's
(modified 6085's?) and a 4050 printer.

So far we have been unable to get very far with XPSFILE as we have no
documentation for it but believe it may be similiar to the format used by 
XNSFILE. Xerox Australia are trying to help but if anyone out
there has any info on either product, specifically the format of the PROFILE.SYS
file, settings of the card for thick Ethernet, and how to use the software we
would love to hear from you!

In addition any other users of an XPS who have managed to get it communicating
with a TCP/IP system or Novell's Netware or even if you just have an XPS
please respond.

Mail replies preferred, thanks.
