Are you saying that the 2300 is not compatible with OS 9 when Open
Transport is running? I thought you *had* to use Open Transport and had
no choice about it. I do run TCP/IP. I have always used Open Transport
with OS 9 on other (desktop) machines.
My wife's 2300 runs just fine with OS 8.5.1 and Open Transport/Remote
Access. I don't see how you could go online without it.
So are you saying to disable Open Transport?
