Hi! I'm still plugging away with my little Classic, and I just got a new toy for it. I dug up an old Apple Personal Modem (with the manual - score). My question to you guys is, what can I do with it from here? There are no ISPs in my area that will allow connects at 1200...is it possible to 'network' via the modem to the modem on my Linux box?
Does Linux support AppleTalk? Windows NT and 2000 do but I never got it to work (didn't try hard though).
Best get a SCSI to ethernet adapter like an Asanti EN/SC. Or get a better modem! I like the Global Village ones that match the Mac style. I had a GV 56K that I used with Classic II on a dial-up ISP. I did FTP and Email, and text-only browsing.
The modem came with a big box of old Mac stuff...not even sure what most of it is yet. :) This is so much fun. :) I did find an ISA ADB card...can i rig that into a network somehow?
Are you sure it's ADB (4 pin socket) or did you mean it's a serial port card (8 pin socket)? ADB is for connecting mouse, keyboard, and other input devices. A serial port would be much more understandable. Then maybe you could do Appletalk.
