You may be right about that, but I got the distinct impression from their web
site that they were a 3rd party vendor.
Now, I realize that not everyone uses WIndows, but when the JetLan board in my
HP printer is connected to the 10 MBps LAN, it immediately appears on the
"Network Neighborhood" window, and is apparently a valid destination. I've
only wanted to access it via Netware, so I never have tried sending print jobs
directly to it.
It's been a while, but IIRC, it appears as a printer, too.
