I'm typing this email (and later sending it) on an SE/30 hooked up to DSL. Email is about as far I go with this machine on the internet, as web browsing is just too slow. I use Claris Emailer 1.1.x, though on an SE, you need v1.0 or some flavor of Eudora. >I have an SE w/ a Ethernet card. I'd love to see it online. Mostly I just >use the Ethernet for Appletalk. > That's all I ever used my SE's ethernet card for and this SE/30's card for until I saw something on this list that "dared" me to get the SE/30 online (dialup at the time). Makes backups real easy, and makes downloading software from the net easy too, doesn't it? >I'm trying to stick w/ System 6-- Any way to get online (thru the network) >w/o going to System 7? > I'll guess that If you've got a broadband router (that's always on, and keeps the numbers (I think they're called DNS?)), and you have MacTCP (which I believe is System 6 compatible), you can make it work. Perhaps a trip to Jags House (don't recall the URL, maybe Jagshouse.com?) might give you more difinitive answers on this. I've never tried getting on line with System 6, so my whole reply may just be babble. That's nothing new though :) >Any way to use the SE as a server? Currently it just acts as an Appletalk >client and I use my G3 as a server > I want to say that AppleShare 3.x might let you do that. Downgrading to System 7 would work as well, assuming by server, you mean being able to sit at your G3 and pluck files from your SE. Another thing to consider is that the larger (read as broadband) servers require SMTP authentication to send email. For that you need a program called Baton Mail, as I know of no email program that will run on a 68k Mac that will do that. Baton Mail is freeware, and it does what it's supposed to do. I don't know that it will work on a 68000 machine though, and I also don't know if it will work without at least System 7.
