Derek,

The IBM Pageprinter manual i mentioned in my note might be hard to
get. You can however find the same content in "IBM Network Printers,
IPDS and SCS  technical reference", S544-5312-00, Page 262.

I have attached a trace file from an IPDS testjob. It is from the
start of the session, where FMH "Begin IPDS" flows from the host
application through the MS SNA Server to our client.

Below I have summarized  the questions you had to my comment note,
as it look from my point of view.

The paragraph below is related only to IPDS.

After the client receives a Begin IPDS ( 0601300D4000 ) there are no
FMH's preceeding the inbound data. The only time when the inbound
data is preceeded by a FMH is as an IPDS ACK reply (0601008B6000) on
a Determing IPDS capability command (0601000B6000).

Thanks,
Keld
