Re: Broadband Compact

[Kyle DePasquale]

I'm not sure what version of mac os you have, but you may be able to  
use IPNetRouter or even the Localtalk-Ethernet bridge software if you  
happen to have an ethernet card in one of  your macs.  Thats how I got  
my IIci macs on the network.  AFAIK it should work with 57600, but I am  
not entirely sure.

Hope that helps!

found 38400 the fastest connection speed (57600 had a lot more packet  
loss)
and reducing the MTU to 576 seems to have helped too.

Now even though I have a broadband connection data transfer is slow,  
very
akin to a dialup, but then being only serial I suppose that is to be
expected.  Should the Classic be capable of reliable 57600?

If I connect another machine to my classic via appletalk, is it going  
to be
possible for that machine to connect to the tcp network via the  
classic,
I'm guessing not as there would be no way to route the traffic between  
what
would be 2 separate networks?
