It doesn't but considering it's vintage you can certainly get a lot done with a 68000 classic mac, and I don't have to worry about being port scanned or patching when I'm on the net! Currently I have MacWeb, Eudora, and a Telnet client running which covers most of what I use elsewhere on the network, I haven't found a good ftp client yet but I'm sure there is one. > >> 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, > >MacIP (TCP/IP encapsulated in AppleTalk) will allow you to use a more >modern Mac with an ethernet interface as a router for the Classic.
