Has anyone ever used FreeBSD as a printer? I have a client who wants to capture information from a security system. The system currently logs information to a printer on a parallel port. It makes no allowance for anything more permanent or useable, so my options are limited to either OCR scanning (yechh) or putting something in place of the printer that can record the data as it is logged. Can the FreeBSD parallel printer port be used as a tty-style input device? Thanks for any ideas or pointers. -rs -- =================================================================== Richard Scranton - LDA Systems - Information Management Consulting scrantr@ix.netcom.com Columbus Cincinnati Cleveland Toledo Atlanta
