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.
