Not so -- in fact, it hasn't been this way for a while. Kodak produced a
60ppm PostScript printer around 1990-1992, and today, Xerox has a
180page/minute 300dpi PostScript printer, as well as a 135ppm 600dpi
PostScript printer. To see this product line, visit [...]38_18Jan199809:01:[log in to unmask]

For a different approach to HP terminal emulation via telnet...

[log in to unmask] has written a FREE telnet client for Windows
which allows serial terminals connected to the the PC's COM port to access the
'net.

'STerm: the bridge to the internet for serial terminals' is at:
http://eot.student.utwente.nl/~flipper/sterm.html

One of the nice things about this approach is that the terminal 'window' is
always on top but never overlays other windows.
Using the mouse to copy and paste are a little difficult though ;)
