Hello Jeff!

Replying to a message of Jeff Dunlop to Erik Huelsmann:

 EH>> What I would like to do, but I dont know how, is to write a driver
 EH>> which fakes an lpt4 in my pc. This port could then be trapped by
 EH>> FaxWorks, to redirect my output to a fax. (I allready have 3
 EH>> printers to 3 existing lpt-ports connected).

 JD> OS/2 already supports 9 line printer ports. If you attach your
 JD> FaxWorks device to LPT4 in Output, it should accept as input all data
 JD> sent to LPT4 from other programs.

It does, that is, under WPS it does, but it does not work on the OS/2
command line. Doing the following instruction:

copy config.sys lpt4

results in a file called lpt4 in my root directory, instead of a config.sys
through the fax.

Bye, Erik!
