Printer Server

[The3rdWay]

I have *inherited* a printer server type
*Ether P401*
It's a little desktop box similar to a modem with an RJ45 socket, an RS 232
25 pin connector and a DC power input socket.
Problem is that the set-up diskettes only mention WIN95 (all the files are
dated 1997 or earlier).
Does anyone know if it maybe possible to use the gizmo on an XP setup?
Do I need new drivers or whatever and if so where do I find them.
I found a website for the manufacturer and e-mailed them the same question
but cannot get a response.

TIA
Frank

You probably can, But you need to give a little detail. Any words, model#, etc on the
device?
