I'm running a D-Link router as well, and have a G3 Powerbook, Wallstreet, that supports Appletalk. My GS is on the router as well, using the LANceGS card. I have transferred files using GWftp on the GS to get files from my G4 iMac. I also have a Superdrive controller card in the GS, so I can read and write 1.44MB floppies. I have floppy drives for the Wallstreet and the iMac, but they don't do 800KB floppies. :) There are also null-modem options, which I have never had to use. I'm sure others will know all about that. Be sure to look at all the A2 web sites. There is a lot of help out there. -- Carl Knoblock [EMAIL PROTECTED] KFest 2003: The fun never stops 3325 South 89th St Home: 402 397-5533 July 22-27, 2003 Omaha NE 68124-3008 Cell: 402 850-5715 <http://www.kfest.org> -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
