We are looking for software that would allow us to use a Mac attached
to a LaserWriter via Appletalk as a print spooler for our VAX UNIX system
(assuming we can generate Postscript files on the VAX such as with Transcript).
We are running 4.1 bsd.

I think that several such applications exist, but we can't access SUMEX, and
we don't get net.source.mac.  Could somebody mail me the software or
tell me who I should contact to get it.  Thank you very much.
