Well, I kind of started this under another thread, so I'll add some more
to the discussion.

I opened my Advisor about 3 hours after posting my message.  I have also
initiated contact with the product manager for the TCP/IP print functionality
of MPE/iX.  I will post more complete information as I get it.

This was not what the product manager said in her mail to me.  She said it
(TCP/IP printing) would be ready in the first half of 1996, and Netware/iX
would not be required.

Now this was one of my other questions to her.  Would it work with a JD EX
box, or a JD EX+3 box.  I hope you are right!!!!
 
 
I will post more as I find out.
