I'm not sure this can be fixed in software w/out slowing down the rest of the system, but John would be able to asnwer more. > 2. "phk malloc" by Paul Henning Kampf.

It's way nice to have direct LaserJet printing! Hmm, are you willing to do the work so that one of us can bring it in. :) > 5. Recent PPP improvements.
