> Almost all older computer's can take what are now very >>inexpensive NuBus or PDS Ethernet cards. Finally, there is EN/SC which also >>seem to be fairly inexpensive and readily available through various used Mac About the only acceptabl solution, performance wise, for using the Duo as an IP router is to use an Ethernet capable dock, whether it a Newer Micro Ethernet Dock, or an E-machines Etherdock, or a full size Duo dock with either built-in Ethernet or a Nubus Ethernet card. Attach the modem to the serial port as the fastest available internal modem tops out at 19.2 kbps. EN/SC is about 1/3 the speed of real Ethernet (there was a macworld report on this in 1993, damn, forgot the issue) and most EN/SC drivers are not OT compliant. This is a problem because IPNetRouter requires OT. If you are routing cable Internet, or ethernet to ethernet, the only solution is to use a full size dock with two ethernet intrfaces.

You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to those who break easily, have sharp edges, or have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ----------------- http://www.writepage.com/velvet.htm ---------------- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
