I am running System 7 for the first time since we had an SE in the eighties. My other Mac is an iMac DV 400 MHz (hoping to upgrade at our MacExpo in November!) and we have several PCs on the same network. We have fixed IP addresses and are not using DHCP (as if I understood all that! :D ) Could my SE/30 fit into that? I shall start looking on Google for the Baton Mail program that you mentioned. In the meantime, any advice you can offer will be gobbled up gratefully!

When you say "Broadband Compact"-- are you referring to broadband *internet*
on a compact????
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.
Hope some of this helps,
