I'm less concerned about price than I am about quality. I guess I'm
thinking anywhere between $850-$3,000.

Also, I remember Matt Harris saying that HPs and QMS printers
recently started using Postscript emulation, as opposed to Adobe
Postscript, which is supposedly better. Which one does Tektronix
support? Also, Dan suggested the old 5M -- since it's older, does it
support Adobe Postscript, or emulation?

Yeah, I know Ethernet is thankfully much quicker. I was mostly
concerned about needing the Ethernet ports on the 7200s for when we
eventually (hopefully) connect the LAN to the campus PC network. I
suppose there's a "through" jack on the hub that would allow for
that? Forgive my ignorance on this subject; I've got so much to
learn.

Thanks for the help so far.

Bob
