require the following:
• NOS Version Supported: Novell NetWare version 2.15, 3.10, or 4.0
and above, any AppleTalk version (EtherTalk Phase II only), TCP/IP
compatible with Sun (Solaris 1.1, 2.1), BSD System V Rel. 4, DEC

network connection supports 10-Mbps Ethernet networks that use either
ThinNet (10BASE2) or 10BASE-T hardware; the Ethernet Print Server
Uniport is compatible with the RS-232C standard supporting baud rates
of up to 19.2 kbps for input devices, and up to 115 kbps for output devices
