Back in the old days they were for terminals that hooked to the serial ports on the back. Here is a link: http://www.wyse.com/products/gpt/wy55es.asp I used to sit at one of those and it gets old. The beep that thing has drove me nuts. We had a IBM system with a blazing fast 25MHz single CPU. We had about 180 people running off that along with about 40 printers. Some of the printers were Genicom 4440's. Geez they were fast. That's what I remember that being for. Hope I'm right. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
