Hi, IBM, working in partnership with a company called Apex Concepts, is introducing an ISA card for a PC that allows a channel attached printer (example IBM 3825, 3827, 3828, 3835, 3800, 3900) to be connected via a TCP/IP network connection. This new capability allows a channel attached printer to be available to all IBM AFP capable hosts (possibility to create IPDS and/or AFPDS data streams) that are attached to the TCP/IP network. Further information is listed below: <excerpts from Apex Concepts e-mail> Here is information on our DISPATCH system. As I mentioned,we have established an agreement with IBM to implement their proprietary PSF-AFP TCP/IP ATTACHMENT FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION in our DISPATCH Channel product. DISPATCH will allow Legacy (or any-Xerox, Seimans, etc.) AFP Channel printer to be directly attached to a TCP/IP network and function as an AFP/IPDS network printer. Deliveries begin in July. One area of interest to IBM is the AS400 market. TCP/IP is inexpensive to implement and OS400 supports PSF/IPDS printing. The DISPATCH product provides and inexpensive solution for AS400 shops to communicate with legacy or refurbished Channel AFP printers for PSF/IPDS production printing. <end excerpt from Apex Concepts e-mail> Further information is available from IBM and Apex Concepts. Please send a private e-mail to me if you would like the contact information we have received about this product. /Paul -- Paul Tykodi, Technical Director E-mail: pault@praim.com Praim Inc.
