Does anyone know if there is a program for MSDOS that can sit around
on an ethernet and look for LPD print jobs and then throw them out
on one of its serial or centronics parellel ports?  We are looking to
offload handling the band-printer(s) we have from our UNIX system
and have them served in this way.  I know there are several terminal
servers that will do this, but we don't have the $$$ right now to go
out and buy one just for this purpose, but we have quite a number of
old PC's just sitting around that could be used for this purpose.

Thanks.
