I am trying to set up FreeBSD as a Network Printer to serve 4 serial
plotters.  They are HP 7475A Pen Plotters.  I am having a lot of trouble
getting them to print correctly.  I know the driver works, because I can
print from the local machine.  

To test this I plotted to a file and copied it to the com1 in DOS and then
cuaa1 on the FreeBSD Machine.  It printed fine in DOS and Screwed up in
FreeBSD.  

Is there some thing FreeBSD does different to the com ports that would
cause the Plot to screw up.??

I need to figure this out soon.  (I'm starting to look bad, becuase it
works in DOS and not FreeBSD.)  :-(

Thanks.
