Anyone using their old Mac? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

 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. 
If you are going System 6 to Dialup, you should have no problems. You 
just need MacTCP and a PPP client (I believe there is one available as 
part of a MacTCP bundle, if not I believe FreePPP is S6 compat.)

The 2nd machine to act as a MacIP router was only if you are doing TCP/IP 
over AppleTalk, which isn't needed if you have either an ethernet card, 
or are going thru a dialup modem connected directly to the S6 mac.
