A note of appreciation to Dan from yet another reader. All this talk of networking made me suspect that I should be able to initiate a network from my 6100 (still running OS 7.6.1!) to my wife's eMac (under Panther 10.3.9). Formerly I could initiate a network connection only from the eMac. Thanks to Dan's suggestion, I can now initiate networking from either machine. This valuable new capability was provided by installing AppleShare Client 3.8 (referred to in the link that Dan provided). I did hit a temporary snag: my 6100 under OS 7.6.1 was running Open Transport 1.1.1, but the ReadMe that accompanies AppleShare Client warned that I had to upgrade to 1.1.2 or later. I searched Apple's website fruitlessly for a separate download of _any_ version of Open Transport. It seems that Open Transport is available only on Mac OS installation CDs or images, and the version included with my OS 7.6 CDs and the 7.6.1 Update is O.T. 1.1.1. Some later versions of Open Transport are 1.2 (included, I think, with Mac OS 8.0) and 1.3 (included in Mac OS 8.1). Since I have the install images for Mac OS 8.1 on hand, I upgraded Open Transport to version 1.3. So I am now running OS 7.6.1 successfully with Open Transport 1.3. I still have no idea of how a person could obtain O.T. 1.1.2 if that were _really_ needed. Mel H. -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
