I don't know anything about the EN/SC (though I'll be diving into that soon), but my Asante ethernet cards for my SE and SE/30 don't appear to work with 10/100 baseT switches, so you'll probably need a 10 baseT hub or switch in addition to the router. Perhaps a list member using an EN/SC can verify that? > >Before I go ahead and get a router, I want to know what I'll need OS and >software-wise on my Classic II to make it able to browse the Web and >access e-mail once I get the router. > I'm currently running an SE/30 with 20M RAM, and System 7.1 and access the internet with DSL. The only suff I've added was an Apple download called "NSI ZM-1.4.5" (I've no idea if this is needed for the internet, or if this is a file sharing package) and OT/PPP. >Currently my Classic II is running System 7.1 and I would like to avoid >using any newer OS unless I absolutely have to.

System 7.5, but I've been using it with 7.1 for over a year now (and many list member have for a lot longer) with no troubles. >I have the Asante EtherTalk Install disk, and I installed the correct >extension for the Asante EN/SC. > >Now from this point on I am a little lost.

Shouldn't need to upgrade the OS just to get on the internet. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
