Odds & Ends: FreePPP fixes printing glitch; Running Street Atlas sans CD

FreePPP fixes USB printing glitch? Michael Mortilla writes: "I added a Keyspan USB PCI card to my PPC 9500. Now when I print via the USB port, it locks the printer port, so in effect I've lost a serial port in exchange for the USB. If I reboot after printing, it's fine again." He found that switching from Remote Access to FreePPP 2.6.2 eliminated the symptom altogether.
