Delivery can also include fonts and images which are embedded into EPS files, optionally skip suppressed images, and can also be told to move linked images instead of copying them.

[ A copy of this message has been posted to the newsgroup ] [ comp.sys.mac.misc ] I just glommed onto a Keyspan USB PCI card (Model UPCI-2). Unfortunately, the person who gave me the card could not find the CD with the driver software. I tried installing the USB Card drivers from Apple, but apparently that is not enough. System Profiler can see that the card is in there, but no other hardware or software can see it. So far, three days and counting, Keyspan Tech Support has not seen fit to respond to my email. This software is conspicuous by its absence on their web site. Does anyone know of an alternate download site for this driver? Can someone who has that CD tell me exactly what is on it? -- Chris Schram cschram@mac.com C's Attic Sale M's Music Sale This Line Intentionally Left Blank. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2001 21:54:15 -0400 From: ngpappas To: "digest@info-mac.org" Subject: Verizon DSL problem with Ethernet At home and at work I use appletalk ethernet networks to connect my computers to each other and to printers using an ethernet hub. No problems. I ordered DSL at home and at work from Verizon. The Mac is supposed to connect to the DSL Modem via ethernet. It works fine if you connect the cable directly from the Mac to the modem. Doesn't work at all if you try to connect through the hub - even when the Mac and the modem are the only things connected to the hub. Verizon is predictably unhelpful ("we do not support ethernet network environments"). Anybody got a clue how to make this work? Or should I just ship the whole mess back to Verizon and wait for broadband? Nick Pappas -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
