Thank you both! ;)
We'd best just agree to disagree about Apple
Computer Co product quality.
I'm sure not aiming to start another flame war :-)
One thing that
I've wondered is how one gets an old MAC to talk on the
Ethernet when it's a mixed environment with Netware and Windows NT
servers..
What do you know about that?
Most Macs, since sometime in the early 90's have come with ethernet on
board. The exceptions were the home targeted models (like the Performa
series), where ethernet was an optional add on. Every mac since the G3
comes with ethernet standard (basically, with the death of the performa
line came the death of optional ethernet....
That pretty much means, every mac from the Plus on can support ethernet.
....
If you can't get AppleTalk supported, then you will have to add things to
the Mac to access the servers. There are 3rd party apps out there to
enable the Mac to speak to a number of different systems. If this is
something you want to do, I will be happy to discuss it with you, but it
is going to get off topic really fast, so we are better off taking it off
list.
