New Features

printer_crlf

Epson printers monitor pin 14 of the parallel port to decide how to 
handle CR. If pin 14 is high, the printer performs a CR. If pin 14 is 
low, the printer performs a CR/LF. The default value is Y and enables 
the converting of <CR> to <CR><LF>. The value of N disables the 
parameter so the printer does not add a <LF>.

Telnet Connectivity to Parallel Ports

Parallel ports now appear on the network as Annex TCP ports 5901-
5999 and 7901-7999. This means that rtelnet can access the parallel 
ports; aprint is no longer necessary to use the parallel ports.
