Well I only meant that the tech support expressed great surprise that I didn't have to
set an ip address for each interface.  Subsequent models use one IP/multi port.  Not
this model which requires separate IP interfaces.  However thanks I didn't know that
much about *how* it actually worked apart from a vague notion. :)

The only other oddity is that this XL was made in Puerto Rico!  hmmmm..

Yeah I know what you mean about the ports page.. I saw it.. noted it.. lost it!  But I
have the port numbers already thanks.  You may be interested in this page.. the
Technical Description.

There is a support forum on newsgroups.intel.com
intel.networking_and_communications.network_print_products
where I have had some further information.. may be valuable to anyone trying to get
these things working.

I just read your notes on netcat.. it seems like the only way to go for a uniform way
of managing these things.  Thanks for all your help Jeff :)

Regards
Clint

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
