We are moving from Ultrix (BSD) to SGI (SYS5). Because I am accustomed
to Berkeley's lpd spooler and have some software written for it I am
desperately looking for an implementation that is easy portable to that
platform. What comes into mind is a POSIX implementation of lpd. Is
there any? Or can't it be done at all? At least SGI's port of lpd is
buggy and unreliable.
