can even run SSH! NuBus machines and the Quadras connect directly in via
Ethernet, of course.
I know the Gatorboxes (or FastPaths) are very hard to find these days but a
friend of mine has had some success using one of the little cheapie Asante
Localtalk-to-Ethernet printer bridges just for the physical layer, then a
Cisco with an appropriate IOS image (supporting Appletalk) for everything
else. He's used this config to "successfully" run MacIP on (within the
bounds of available client software, LOL) and netboot a IIGS.
Best,

Joe,
is there a way to plumb SerialTCP's front end to tcpser, or make a
library of the tcpser code?
I'm happy to take suggestions on making it work better on the Mac, but I
think you're front end is the best way to go.
I need to rewire the codebase, so I am open to suggestions.
Jim
