RE: [cobalt-users] Dial on Demand re-revisited

["David C. Ashworth" <dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

I had a similar problem with an OKI every time you printed to it. It would
cause the ISDN to connect.  I don't know exactly what was going on but maybe
someone else will decode for me <grin>.  It was linked to the fact that when
you printed it wanted to check the DNS (packet program told me) (which was
on the other side of the ISDN, no local one!) I put the printer in the hosts
file on each PC. after that, no problem!  Maybe you could put the printer in
the Qube's DNS or someone understands what I am going on about (jeff?)
