This is a coincidence! I just got an SE/30 and a Mac IIx too. I also have
some of those Asante SCSI Network adapters. I'm wanting to network one of
these with my PC, but I don't know where to start. I know linux supports
Appletalk right out of the box so to speak, but I dual boot between in and
Windows 98, and 98 is my primary OS for the most part. Now, I've never
heard mention of Appletalk as a protocol under 95 or 98. Is it available?
What other option do I have besides Appletalk?
BTW, my only networking experience is with Novell Netware server and
DOS/Win95/NT boxes.

owner showed up at my office one day recently and delivered it. The
next week I also bought a Mac IIx w/ 8 megs of RAM for $25 at a
Silicon Valley swap meet. A friend gave me a couple of Asante SCSI
<-> Ethernet adapters which can normally be had for around $20 on
eBay.

I think Appletalk's available on NT Servers.
Easy, run TCP/IP on the Apple, run NETATALK or CAP and Samba
on the linux (I'm using FreeBSD here) as the central server or hub
and run Microsoft networking with TCP/IP on the Winxxx boxes.
works great here... I've got a MacIIfx, Win95, Win3.1, OS/2, Linux and
FreeBSD all talking.

Probably the best solution is to take an older PC either a 386 or 486, with
a network card in it and install Linux. On this machine set up Netatalk,
NFS, Samba, and your FTP so they will all access the same drive. This way
you've got a drive that you can pretty much share between all systems on
your network.
I'm using a 486/33 that has been running Linux since 0.12, and am able to
access it from my various machines running MacOS, Linux, VMS, Amiga OS,
Win95, and BeOS. I just wish Linux supported DECnet! I can also connect a
few other systems to it via a serial connection. It even has a C-1541
drive attached to it, that can be used when I boot it to DOS, or I can run
programmes like Putr on it to use it's built in 5 1/4" drive. It's my
"Great Integrator".
