    Need an AIO printer that has the fax/scanner and printer accessible via network. Is one available?

    If you can afford it, check out the HP OfficeJet 7310. It has all the features you are looking for, and is an excellent photo printer. You can even use access memory cards over the ethernet interface.

    AIX 4.3/Unix LPSTAT command

    How can you determine how many pages are left in a print job? We have one job that is currently printing, but it is tying up the printer for other use by our general Windows users.

    Sygate Firewall comparison (CPU usage)

    Have you turned off some of Sygates advanced logging features such as its packet logging? I do not use Sygate anymore, but that is one of the features that I believe those other two PFW do not have. That may be the cause of the CPU spikes.

    What is the best file compression freeware program?

    Try WinRar. http://www.rarsoft.com/ The .rar format usually provides better compression ratios than either .ace or .zip formats. WinRar is shareware, but try it out and see how it does. If you still cannot get it uunder 700mb, try to split the file in half and spread it over two CDs. Good luck...
