Duane, if/when you get MacLan Connect back up (after you settle in
a bit), let me know if it works at all with Windows '95--I'm not about to
screw things up by switching to Win '95 until I know. ;-)
Also, I found life just a little less complicated by not using the
MacLan printer sharing anymore. I just went ahead and bought an HP
JetDirect EX box and made my HP LJ 4 w/ PS Level 2 into a true network
printer. Prints beautifully from both Win for Workgroups as well as the
Mac just as if it were native (of course, I'd have trouble printing from
DOS-only without a direct parallel port connection, but since I don't do
that anyway...). Some of my weirder graphics items didn't like going
through the PC as a print server.
I still find MacLan Connect a godsend for sharing files across
platforms. Many thanks!
