Hi John, From watching over in the HPperiph forum, the Windwos for Workgroups software sometimes does not work all that great. Lots of people seem to have troubles. There is also updated software available for the card over there. Let me know if you ever find a way to connect the printer device to an lpr daemon. Then I will look at getting a board for the Amiga, and borrow the card for the printer from work to give it a spin. Have the two clones (386bb and p90) working fine using Personal Netware, with the printer hanging off the parallel port of the P90 machine. It acts as the server for the printer. HP doesn't have any software to allow Personal NetWare to work with their printer ethernet interface. Don't have any real knowledge of 900MHz propogation. Just the usual, avoid going through masonry (cement), steel, or heavy foilage. Also, if there are lots of flat metal or cement surfaces, you may have multipath problems. Are you looking at putting in a S.S. radio modem for your ethernet highway, or a 900 MHz cordless phone? Am going to get a little experience with 900 MHz wide band transmission. Picked up a 910MHz 1 watt video transmitter and also a downconverter. Am going to stick the transmitter and a B/W video camera on a remote control vehicle. 73, Kelly
