Re: Converting a 6408 Printer from Twinax to Ethernet

1-We have no line printers. We are strongly decentralized in printing.
Lots of multifunction laser printers. Lots of barcode printers. Only one
80 char Okidata that I know of but it's not even attached to a network, PC
or other computer. Just a cardreader security system. And that's the
only printer in our machine room.

2-For a while, but it's been YEARS, we had 5394's and Perle compatible
equipment for some twinax devices at some remote plants. But those have
been out the door for a LONG time now. Upgrading firmware on them to keep
them compatible with network changes, OS changes, etc was such a PITA.

I really don't miss twinax. (And I'm not even a crack shot. :-) )
