LocalTalk and Modem/Printer Port_programmable to bringing to life in OSX??
apple put away in OS X the LocalTalk interface like the Modem/Printer Port.
But OS X is still working on PB G3 but not on those ports!
Under Unix it must be programmable to enter in the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) to bring to life a LocalTalk interface.
People jumping to OSX must they changing the LocalTalk Printer into a Ethernet Printer???
As a graphic designer I work with a HP 6MP (Serial/LocalTalk) and a Epson Stylus Color 3000 (Serial).
My choice is only to stay with OS 9 or to buy Ethernet cards for my old printers still working very very well.
OS X has a driver for the HP 6MP but not in LocalTalk in his old language!
What happen in apple philosophy.
Please please programmer from unix do something because I'm not alone to have this problem.
This could be my best christmas surprise!
sincerely

Is there a way to configure a Linux machine so that I can click on any where on the Xterm window to bring it to the front/top. By default, I have to click on the title bar but often the entire title bar is underneath another window.

NAME
xi -- Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
xi* at xirc?
Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See mii(4).
DESCRIPTION
The xi driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include:
Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II
Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet
Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem (Ethernet function only)
Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
Compaq Netelligent 10/100
Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include:
Xircom RealPort Ethernet
Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet
Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the tlp(4) driver.
MEDIA SELECTION
Media selection is done using ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information.
SEE ALSO
ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pcmcia(4), tlp(4), xirc(4), ifconfig(8)
HISTORY
The xi device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
BUGS
The driver suffers from poor performance. Even with the 10/100 cards, do not expect more than ~450KB/s. Some 10/100 cards may not autonego-
tiate reliably and require manual media selection.
The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both Ethernet and modem interfaces are known to have problems. This is due to the card not
reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card.
