Hi,

	I have a LinkSys Compact Auto Switch to use two printers
from my PC.  The package came with Win/DOS software but nothing for
UNIX.  There is a manual control on the switch to select one of the two
printers but I would prefer a software solution.  Does anybody know of
any UNIX software for this device?  Does anybody know how these things
work so that I might be able to program my own software in case nothing
is available?  

	Thanks for your time.
