Users print to a file and then use their normal username/password for authentication on the VAX. The printable file is uploaded and printed. Billing information is collected once a semester and sent to the comptroller who adds it to the student bill for the next semester. We even have a script that runs on the VAX and automates the upload. It sounds pretty funky but its worked well for years. I wouldn't recommend looking for a VAX to run this on, but I've heard that this is printer accounting software available for the NT that should do most of this. Using an NT should also make the networking part of this less obvious to the user. Paul Chapin Curricular Computing Specialist Amherst College http://www.amherst.edu/~pdchapin
