Thanks for the thoughts. I've not found any copiers that connect well to
the AS/400 yet. In this case the customer is wanting to elimiate
maintenance/supplies/training/space etc duplicated by having copiers and
printers. He can get plenty fast machines that do both but the missing
piece seems to be in the 'Printer mode' Connectivity to the AS/400-weak
or non-existant. The 'Magic box' seems to address the connecitivity.

Another post suggested 'try first' before making a committment. That is
also an excellent idea.
