BINGO!  No ethernet card!  (Slaps face, and says to himself..."hoo boy, do

Would probably have worked geat, aside from the little hitch above :-)

Again, a little terminology thing that was the source of my confusion, I
think.  Let me see if I have it straight -- Localtalk is *not* supported
via serial connections (eg, the printer port), but it *is* supported over
an ethernet network connection vie netatalk.

Okay, then, now I see.  Then back to the notion of a *serial* connection.
Connected to the (printer) serial port the device specification for lp
should be
	lp=/dev/tty01

No?

Thanks again!
