Anyone have advice...? We have a remote location with 6 oki printers that are connected to a 16-port RAN and then to a 56k frame relay that connects to our office server (IB RS/6000 w/ AIX). We have now set up a VPN between these locations. What is the most cost-effective solution to network these printers with the home office?

Quickest, cheapest is to buy print servers for the oki printers. Thats what we did for our sites and scrapped the expensive frame relay links.

If you plan on keeping the frame connection, look into a serial over ethernet option such as those offered by Avocent, Digi, or Comtrol.
