I believe I've finally got the damn TEK que working again. I couldn't get it to work with the custom hardware on Bert, so I hooked it up to one of the 386/PC's we have running Unix (which doesn't require any custom hardware). Then I hacked to bits the TEK symboint code forcing it to open a network connection to the Unix system via TCP/IP and blasting your file to a daemon which is always listening on the Unix system. After the file is sent to the printer the Unix node sends a message back to Bert which in turn will send a message to your terminal that the job has completed. As before, the job completed message only means the file has been sent to the printer, it'll still take a few minutes for it to actually print your file. Let me know if you have any trouble especially if your print doesn't come out, but the system said it "completed". ds
