Hey Bill

I haven't tried setting the clock rates yet.  I ran into a small
problem (my ignorence) trying to install Henrys kernel.  He posted me
with the solution to that, and I'll give it a try later today.

I'll need to call epson to get the clock rates for the printer, I'm
doing that today as well.  I poured over all the tech specs that came
with the printer, but that particular piece of info wasn't included.
Guess they never planned on somone wanting to run it on a unix box
without a network card.

Once I get Henry's kernel running and the printer clock sync'd I'll
report back.

Thanks for your help
