First it is "simpler and cheaper' then 'more expensive'. Nothing like a firm commitment to ambiquity. The bottom line is that using a Win PC box for a print server saves me countless hours of frustration. I know that I can purchase virtually any printer on the market today and have it up and running on the Windows box in a few minutes. Can you say the same thing about a FBSD box? Not even close. The idea behind any venture, be it personal or business, is to find the cheapest and most efficient solution for a given problem. I have found one that works just fine for me. --=20 Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com To envision how a 4-processor system running [SunOS] 4.1.x works, think of four kids and one bathroom.
