I am not sure what this expression means. I connected the Apple games
socket to the BBC Micro User port and used an adapted version of the RS232
serial program which is in the "Red Book"

I have not been able to do.
1. Connect any Macintosh running System 6 to the internet
ISTR doing that with MacTCP 1.x (an addon install, not included
in System 6) and a SCSI<->Ethernet box. I'm fairly certain that
the ethernet box came with System 6 drivers, but if someone here
knows that it flat-out can't be done, then I'm probably mistaken.
I have never tried it with dial-up, if that's what you mean. the Apple IIe card.

There are also System 6 drivers for the Farallon
Etherwave
localtalk->ethernet adaptor, however, the Etherwave doesn't support
TCP/IP (limit of the Appletalk, not of the etherwave), so you have to use
MacIP (TCP/IP wrapped in AppleTalk), and a MacIP to TCP/IP bridge (like
IPNetRouter running on another Mac). And again, I see no reason it can't
be done.
It would be more useful to be to be able to connect a S6 Mac to the
Internet from any phone socket which is why I was trying to do it dial up.
It is has to go via another machine, then there isn't any advantage.
Obviously you can ethernet another mac to your iMac.

Did you write a bit-banger serial port for the Apple?
