I'm not sure what thread this belongs to, its concerned with Parnet which seems to be in widespread use and the recent discussion about the merits of whether to turn on/off the system each night. It is my understanding that the Parnet cable on the parallel port can not be shared by printers, etc. via a switch box and that the Parnet cable should not be removed without turning off the power. Do any of you Parnet users out there have any knowledge or experience concerning the the use of switch boxes? Do you have to turn off the power in order to use the printer. Al Berman A.C.E.S.
