This squeaks by but I think it's still on topic :-)
I landed a Mac IIci w/24MB RAM, an 832MB HD, an 8*24*GC NuBus video card
(which will go to the IIsi), the 32MB cache card, and treasure trove of all,
a Farallon EtherWave NuBus card which works wonderfully. Total cost: "take
it away it's consuming space"
Anyway, I decided this would be a fine box for putting NetBSD/mac68k on (and
I've got the NetBSD Foundation CDs on order). Then I noticed the card has
*two* Ethernet ports on it, which makes me wonder if I can assign them to
separate network interfaces. Anyone played with this card and know what the
difference between the ports is? Can I assign them different network
interfaces, either in NetBSD or in MacOS? I didn't see an option under the
TCP/IP control panel (System 7.6).

-- TODAY'S DUMB TRUE HEADLINE: Plane Too Close to Ground, Crash Probe Told ----
This is basically a repost of info I sent out to comp.os.vms earlier in the
week. However, I'm not sure it made it out of my ISP since I can't find it
in DejaNews. Anyway I'm basically stuck on getting the DECnet over TCP/IP
working through my firewall. What follows is the info I'd posted to the
newsgroup:
I'm trying to setup a VAX behind a firewall to accept DECnet over TCP/IP
connections. I'm running OpenVMS V7.2, DECnet-Plus, and TCP/IP V5.0. I've
got the following setup:
VAXstation 4000-60 <----> OpenBSD Firewall <----> Internet
AlphaStation 500/333<--+
The Firewall is doing NAT and I've redirected ports 102 and 399 directly to
the VAXstation-60, which from what little documentation I could find on
DECnet over TCP/IP looks to be enough.
I've got DECnet over TCP/IP working just fine between the VAX and the Alpha
(I set it up on the Alpha only for the purpose of testing this). However
when I try and connect to the VAX from the Alpha using the Internet IP
address I can't. This seems to indicate to me that I need to redirect more
than just ports 102 and 399.
The following four lines seem to be the only network traffic when I attempt
a "SET HOST {Internet IP Address}".
15:21:54.144064 alpha.1062 > firewall.399: S
929664000:929664000(0) win 16384 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 0>
15:21:54.144066 firewall.399 > alpha.1062: R 0:0(0) ack
929664001 win 0
15:21:54.146016 alpha.1063 > firewall.399: S
929728000:929728000(0) win 16384 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 0>
15:21:54.146018 firewall.399 > alpha.1063: R 0:0(0) ack
929728001 win 0
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do in order to get this working?

Hello everyone,
I would like opinions on which Macs to collect. I have a source of
older Macs, and while the 'one of each' theory sounds good, its a
bit impractal.
What I would like to end up with is a list that looks like this:
128K Mac Original
Mac II First color
Blah Blah First PPC
Blah2 First Notebook
SE30 Powerful small footprint mac..
I am reasonably familiar with the Mac line up to about the IIci/cx timeframe.
I am completely unfamiliar with the PowerPC line.
All opinions welcome, reply to me or to the list.
thanks,
Kelly

Hi
I mentionned I was given a VAX8350 for free about 2-3 weeks ago on here.
I had no place for it. So I just picked up some boards from it like
someone asked me on here.
I got no news from him since. I have 13 boards from what I suppose is
the main unit of the VAX8350.
All measure about 9"x9" some memory (4MB?) some with a 68k CPU...some I
have no idea what they do...
If the person does not get back to me these are going in garbage or to
whoever wants them -- soon...shipping is from Montreal, Canada.
My basement is outta control and I am doing some major cleaning. I dont
need these...reply quick.

Computer used as terminal would be DTE. Also likely is the designer
was not familiar with standards and went with the only RS232 they
knew which was likely a terminal.
I believe there should be two serial (one each) or a switchable
option for DCE/DTE.

None. Eric and Tony were talking about Apple ]['s, not Macs :-)

My thought too. There would need to be a 10baseT transciever IC for a
start.

I hope you're not suggesting that because I mentioned it came from an Apple
environment ;-)

I traced enough of it to convince myself that it's pretty well identical
to several other 10base2 transceivers I've repaired or otherwise taken
apart over the years, except for the built-in 50 ohm terminator and the
substitution of an RJ45 for a D-15.
