|         QUESTIONS:
        1. Any problems with clients running automount?
Clients can run automuont.
        2. Can sendmail be set up to failover?
Yes.
        3. Can printers be set-up to failover?
I am not aware of local printers being able to be failed over. 
You might be able to failover network printers, however, I
have not tried.  Anyone out there tried this and failed/
succeeded?
        4. can LAT devices failover?
Not sure, again, anyone tried this one?

|     Hi,
    
    I wrote in year 1994 a note explaining how to failover printer queue,
    but I dont remember the note number. try a dir /title=printer or
    /title=queue.
    
    Regards, Manu.
