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.
Netatalk. You could log on to MBP which is hosted on linux. MBP could be accessed by phone also but the distance between us makes that unworkable. ;)
Every full distro of nix I have has a ftp server, a very nice person from the UK sent me a SCSI > ethernet converter after seeing a post from me on this list. Makes life easier for most things! even without netatalk. Well worth buying if you have a soft spot for ether challanged classics.
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.
I hope Peter replies to your question. I cant see the need for a ISA - ADB card although I can count myself as a pc user who wouldn't mind one. The card must be ID'd before cables are connected to anything. Hopefully Peter hasn't tested things without knowing what the card is.
