PrintMate+ Print Server
A while ago my Netgear FM114P wireless router/802.11b access point/print server went silent. I do not know what caused this to happen but I suspect, I fried it somehow : The FM114P stopped assigning an IP-address to my laptop (but continued to do so for my desktop). I first tried restarting it and later resetting it, but things only got worse. It stopped assingning any IP-addresses and the web based admin application was no longer available. For the record, I should state that the print server had been malfunctioning for some time, causing me to disable it.
The mileage I got out of the FM114P was nearly two years running around the clock.
I replaced the FM114P with a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G. The WRT54G was very reasonably priced; it supports disabling SSID broadcast; it supports WPA encryption and Linksys came highly endorsed by friends. Today, I noticed that ports of the WRT54G (it contains a 4 port switch) auto senses 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections, so I decided to give my *old* Sercomm PrintMate Plus -E print server a go. I downloaded software from the site listed below and so far, installation and subsequent printing has worked like a charm on both Win2K, WinME and WinXP.

Software can be downloaded from Dynamode's ftp-site

Hi,
I have the same PrintMate+ Print Server with only NetWare support.
Sites dynamode.co.il and Dynamode’s ftp-site does not work now.
Please send me PrintMate+ Print Server firmware.
Thank you,
