Last night, I got the fantastic idea of using an emulated Xerox Alto II (under Contralto) and tried getting some sort of set up to where I can write letters in Bravo/Bravox and get them printed to PDF for actual printing. So far, I'm able to use the Spruce disks and "print" some things, but I'm lost on how I'm able to actually get a written document printed - or, even, how to get the Empress, Sprint utility and Bravo on the same disk. If anyone can help get this crazy setup going, that'd be fantastic!

​

Edit: I have one Virtual Alto set up as a Spruce server. Any .press files on the spruce disk prints directly to PDF without a hitch. Doing some digging, my understanding is that I need to get another Virtual Alto to talk to the Spruce server Alto. I can FTP into myself (if my ID is 0#42#, I FTP into 0#42# and shows as connected) but setting the ethernet ID to, say, 43, FTP from 0#42# to 0#43# on the same host PC will not work, despite all possible network configuration options. Am I doing something wrong?
