The operative phrase in the license is "made available on a computer network external to you or your organization." The source can be on a machine that's also on the internet (as ours is), but you have to arrange that it's not accessible from outside. In combination, permissions adjustment and limiting the namespace visible to visitors should be sufficient.

To drive a printer on the parallel port, a different approach is required since tcpostio requires feedback from the printer and the parallel interface is one way. Basically a lptsrv needs to be written that opens /dev/lpt1data write only and emulates the responses from tcpostio. A simpler approach would be to change the daemon side alltogether so it doesn't chat with the printer. Since I have a file server that does *NOT* have a WORM, I have all the cpus and terminals share the /sys/lib/lp directory and use the queue and tmp directories there. (In other words, no bootes "other" file system.) After these changes, one can print from the cpu console and any terminal or cpu window. I would like to have some feedback to the code in eiasrv.c. Did I do all the "proper" Plan 9 things? Enjoy.
