Thanks eric, but this is exactly the software I was talking about. 
This is the stuff that makes the IW print, but stops bf it's done.

I'm now beginning to see that serial in classic isnt something that 
works well. I should have known this bf deciding to go with JAguar, 
but I didnt. Ah well, most of my serial stuff has workarounds. The 
emate is running fine in OSX thru the stealth port. However, to get 
it to do backups I'll need ethernet for appletalk. Stealth cant do 
appletalk. I now understand that, haha.
But the stealth is at least extremely useful for the emate. With the 
newer software being written for OSX, I can now install software onto 
the emate from osX, and sync with Address Book in OSX, and of course 
iCal (altho I dont use it)

I will have to get a usb adapter for the IW, and I guess try to sell 
my HP portable deskjet. Too bad, bc I just bought 2 new ink carts and 
a refill kit for it. Altho I suppose it could possibly work with a 
usb adapter.
Just seems dumb that a usb adapter would work better than the stealth 
built in port.
