No, we want to talk about peripheral topics vaguely related to your question.
(also: ;-) )
Here's what I have in inventory:
System 6 install floppies
Asante PSD ethernet board for SE/30 with install floppy
MacTCP 2.0.6
MacTCP 2.1
MacTCP Ping 2.0.2 (doesn't recognize MacTCP 2.1)
ZM Appleshare Workstation 3.5
Network Software Install 1.5.1
The ethernet board blinks when plugged into a network. That's as far as I
can get. The interface for MacTCP is impenetrable.
Is netatalk speaking real EtherTalk Phase 2? Or is it speaking AFP-over-TCP?
The netatalk server on my network speaks real DDP. MacTCP shouldn't be part
of this equation.
I have netatalk running on my regular multipurpose headless server as
installed from apt-get. I also have an a2server[1] Virtualbox image
running.
At the very least I want EtherTalk. MacTCP would be nice just to talk
ftp, telnet, or maybe ssh. I'm not terribly interested in running web
browsers (that's where the previous thread derailed).
I'm sure what I'm doing with netatalk. a2server seems to have its
netatalk settings hidden somewhere nonstandard. I'm not sure if I have
the main server's netatalk configured right.
