Thanks to all who offered their current insights.
I posted to two forums because this is basically a connectivity question, but I need the answer to apply to Ricoh machines, and I know quite a few techs who may only browse to help Ricoh people, but also would have good insight on this question.
As for doing a search; I did. I found the existing answers on this website and Google. I didn't think it was harmful to check if the wonderful community had new ideas, new info, or novel approaches.
