It's made by EDIMAX and I just hooked it up two days ago. It's outside dimensions are half the size of a floppy disk, and 1/2 inch thick, and snaps right on the back of your inkjet printer, then just plug in the RJ-45 cable and run the setup utility which only for setup needs a DOS or Win95/98/NT/2000 box. Went and used a dual boot box just long enough to set the static IP then pulled the windows box off the network. For $55 dollars this TCP/IP printserver is really cool. http://www.edimax.com/ Then choose "print server" and it's the cheapest one on there called; "1-Port 10M Print Server with UTP Network Port Palmtop PS-901" -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 "UNIX, A Way of Life." http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
