I just got a big wad of small connectors that have a din8-round connector on one end and two rj-11 phonejacks on the other. Are these PhoneNet devices? Some are made by Farallon, others by PowerUser. What do they do (exactly) and how do they do it? I'm assuming they connect a Mac to a phone line, but what does that accomplish?
Yep, sounds like a Phonenet connector. Basic idea is you plug two or more into two or more Macs' serial ports, run phone lines between them with terminator resistors on the two end ones, and you have networked Mac. You probably wouldn't want to actually plug them into phone lines, but it might well allow it. I've read conflicting reports on whether it works with one side being "it works fine" and the other side being "It damages the motherboard". So, try it at your own risk :) Does work quite well between Macs though.
