A couple of years ago I saw a demonstration of a program from
Touchstone software, I believe the name was UnixHost that
provided many of the features of a LAN using serial lines rather
than LAN cards.  One of the features I remember included print
spooling on the UNIX/Xenix host.  I have a copy of this for the
Tandy 6000 that I have never installed that I picked up for
$50.00 at a Radio Shack Tent Sale.

Does anybody have any experience with the Touchstone product?
