Can this machine still be used with DSL? If it matters, it has 20M of
RAM, a 1G HD, an Assante ethernet card and is running system 7.1
(updated), with OT 1.1.2. I pretty much only use it on the internet to
check email (using Claris Emailer 1.1v3), but I would hate to have to
keep paying for dialup just to check my email. I'm asking here because
the system requirements that verizon lists obviously rule out my SE/30.
Actually, they make it confusing by saying you need OS X and powerPC
processor of at least 120Mhz. I've decide to ask here first, as if I call
them they are going to tell me I need OS X and that will be the end of
the discussion.
I don't know why they would insist on OSX - I would think OS9 at least might be the minimum.
Does anyone here have an 030 machine running 7.1 hooked up to DSL? Not
that this would be a regular occurrance, but does iCab work on it? Claris
Emailer?
I occasionally hook up my SE/30 (running 7.5.5) to my little home network, plus I always have a PowerBook 520 running 7.6.1 going, that's my fax machine. I use Eudora Light for email, and I don't have a problem receiving any mail.
Right now I've got three machines hooked up to a four port hub. If I hook
the modem to the hub, would it be possible for the three machines to use
DSL, or would I need a router of sorts? If I do need a router, will file
sharing between my three machines still work?
You would need a router to split the DSL signal, but if you get more than a 1-port model it also works as a switch/hub. Routers are real cheap now. I can file share with everything, including three machines running OSX.
Thanks in advance,
J White
