You can hook the Macs up via the printer port with a printer cable. I know AppleTalk will allow you to go between modem ports, but I never tried it. PhoneNet's are designed for if you will include a printer into the mix, or if you need to network more than 2 Mac's. I have a SyleWriter 2500,

Hmmm. Well, I don't think I have heard of an easy hardware solution to do this on a Mac. In order to route internet you will need something like IPNetRouter as a software router. There used to be (maybe still are?) hardware AppleTalk routers. I think he is trying to connect a Mac without

There are slimline null modem adaptors available in M-M, F-F and M-F connector configurations. They cost a bit but for most uses can be considered to be zero length when you're concerned about overall serial cable length. = http://www.junkscience.com All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!
