Dear Miso,

I have been using MacPGP 2.6.ui and also use
pgp -ka "Filename " "pubring.pgp"


I think it probably adds up to mailrouters that muck around with 8-bit
characters.

THe TCP/IP Printer problem is solved here is my Summary. I am off on
vacation for a month so my mail will probably be slow for a while, but I am
interested in PGP-Experiences. There seems to be some politics behind it
all that I don't understand. Do you know or understand what its about and
are there any other signature programs or encryptions software that compete
with PGP?

Thanks again especially for the help on TCP/IP.


Cheers,

Tom

Thank you all,

I have gotten many many answers back, all helpful. The count is at 20 and
rising you can stop answering now.

Most popular answer was a HP Laserjet 4m+ with an optional network card
(JetDirect)

Following closely were any number of HP Laserjets with the optional network
card.

DEC also has several printer or printservers available (printserver 17 &
printserver 20, DEClaser 3500 ...)

Bill Schmidt seems to have the inexpensive answer with an EMULEX printbox
for 500 US$.

One answer which may even be less expensive though I am not sure I
understand it completele comes from eisenman@beta.tricity.wsu.edu
All thats needed is an ethernet card for the printer and a sever capable of
being the bootdevice for same. (I'm not sure whether this refers to a
printserver or our Ultrix box)

- From other sources come this information

>the apple LW600 does.  And does LPD too!  text and postscript.
>        Apple protocols, 600dpi.

Again thanks to everyone who answered

Danke auch an die deutschsprachige Antworte.

Cheers Tom
