I don't know, I don't print.

You say this works... why don't you just use this?

What's the point of trying something else that doesn't work if you have found
a setup that works??

There are many 3rd-party programs to do this, FC/2 does this too.

I don't know that.

Which "OS/2 port of List"? If it's the OS/2 port of Vern DeBurg himself, it's
only an old 16-bit program.

There are other list-like program, better suited for OS/2 (Look/2). You can
use the internal viewer in FC/2.

Do you mean Star Office, that Sun recently acquired?

I don't use Star Office, so I can't answer that anyway.

If the slow download speeds are caused by SIO, you get the same slow speed in
any other program that downloads.
