Dave,

I personally wouldn't mess with DCPS. I would opt for UCX or Multinet
instead.

If you have UCX V.relatively_new, use the TELNET symbiont. Set up your
queue with a command like:

$ init/queue some_queue/symbiont=ucx$telnetsym-
    /on="10.1.2.3:9100"/other_queue_parameters

where 10.1.2.3 is the IP address of your JetDirect card; port 9100 is
the normal port for this for HP cards. There are tons of parameters
that you define as logical names to change the way the queue responds
to various conditions. Check the UCX documentation for details.
