I have a group people who want to share Laserwriter(s) between Macintoshs
and UNIX systems (SUN's and IRIS's). I have suggested the following
configuration:
-a Kinetics Fastpath
-Columbia University's CAPS code
-Abode's TransScript
The object is to share the LaserWriters without having to physically switch
them back a forth between Special mode and Appletalk mode. I am looking for
the answers to the following questions:
Does the configuration work?
Is manual switching necessary?
Is this slower than seperate Laserwriters for the UNIX workstations
and the Mac's?
My feeling is that it should work, but since I have not seen any success
stories I am not sure that it is "fool proof". I'll summarize the answers
for the net if needed.

PS: Remember that nothing is fool proof, because fools are so ingenious.
