I just got my NeXT Cube (Yeah!!!). It's running NeXTStep 3.3, and I am trying to connect it to my AppleTalk network, via LocalTalk or Ethernet. Could anyone help me? Thanks, Owen

Look into CAP. That's how I got a x86 Box running OPENSTEP V4.2 talking Appletalk. Zane

Congrats! NeXT hardware with 3.3 is probably one of the nicest combos I've used. Just stunning. Anyway to answer your question, check out CAPer by Frank Siegert: http://www.this.net/~frank/next_cap.html You might want to check out his other pages as well and Timothy Luomas pages at: http://www.peak.org/~luomat Do you have the developer CD ? -- jht

Yes. I have the Developer CD. Doesn't NeXTStep have AppleTalk support built in? Thanks, Owen

Not really. They toyed with including it in 3.0 or 3.1 I think, but it had lots and lots of problems. It was completely removed by 3.3. ok r.

Buggy version(s) in 3.0 I think. NS is one of the few OS's that I really like. The developer stuff is really beautiful and some of the apps were (and still are) really out there. I have all the Lighthouse stuff, I had Framemaker (I *did* try to buy it but resorted to hacking the license stuff with gdb), Lotus Improv (weird and wonderfull spreadsheet), Altsys Virtuoso and Mathematica. For web browsing Omniweb is the only choice. I have the one and original WorldWideWeb.app by Tim Berners-Lee on some CD. I'd really like to get a NextDimension (and a cube to go with that) -- jht
