What I've got is a problem with a serial printer (a GENECOM 3404) which USED to work under 386BSD 0.1 and NetBSD 0.8. It now says the printer is offline and won't let me print to it at ALL. Maybe I don't have the termios flags set right or something, but I can't print to the printer. P.S. This is a test of a new newsreader as well as a followup post. ======================================================================= Stephen F.
