Hi Folks,

    I am pleased to say that I have installed a new (second-hand) printer for 
DOS and Linux.
It is an HP Laserjet 5N, monochrome.  I downloaded to DOS software that goes 
with it, and I was also able to print from BL2 by editing deskjet.filter to 
make sDEVICE=ljetplus and everything else the same.

    From HTM files, using Arachne -> xxxx.ps output file, then using 
Ghostscript 7.x for DOS, or by quickly booting BL2 and using phoenix -> 
nnn.ps, then ps2pdf.

    This one has been completely reconditioned and has a new paper-feeder 
installed a few months ago.

BTW: I have just got ADSL connected, and I have accessed it with BL2.  Not 
sure how, my first few attempts failed miserably, and then it suddenly 
worked. (using netsetup with dhcp server set).
I hope it still works next time.  :)

   It didn't.   :(
    Nor the time after that, or the time after that !
I am now back to dial-up.

   The ADSL modem/router is a NetComm NB5Plus4, which I am told is running a 
Windows system.
Any hints would be gratefully received.   

Regards,
         Ron
