We discuss axisymmetric force-free pulsar magnetospheres with magneticallycollimated jets and a disk-wind obtained by numerical solution of the pulsarequation. This solution represents an alternative to the quasi-spherical wind solutionswhere a major part of the current flow is in a current sheet which is unstableto magnetic field annihilation.Comment: 6 figures, accepted for publication in the Ap
