Aerielle Think most of your questions have been answered but here is my tuppence worth.

Without using an Ethernet switch (hub) or router, the single cable will have to be an Ethernet Crossover Cable (AKA Null Ethernet cable), rather than the conventional Ethernet cable. Basically the transmit wire at one end is wired to the receive wire at the other end, to connect the transmit of one machine to the receive of the other and vice versa, hence the name 'Cross Over', so the two machines can talk to each other. The other alternative is to get an Ethernet Switch/Hub/Router with at least 4 ports and get an extra standard Ethernet cable for your other machine. >7. How else can I connect both machines ? >Should they be plugged into a router or ??? >Which would be good ? If you only ever intend to use just the two machines, then an Ethernet Cross Over Cable will be the cheapest solution. If you intend to add more machines then think about getting an Ethernet Switch/Hub/Router and more Ethernet cables so you can hook up all these machines and share resources and the internet. >8. Panther >I would like to try Panther on Yikes ? >Does it run well ? >Hints, comments, suggestions appreciated. Yes it runs great! Seen it running on a G3 300MHz Mini Tower with 256MB RAM! Seen an AGP 350MHz G4 run Panther fine too! The more RAM you have the better it will run. >9. Record streaming audio >Anyone know a good - preferably free - app that >will record streaming audio on the Yikes ? >It's for talk - not music - so I don't need all those >great base tones etc. that music people love. I use Felt Tip Software's Sound Studio to record stereo 2 track music, but this could easily be used to record just your voice. You may need a dedicated audio input as I can't remember if the Yikes has an Audio/Line/Mic Input. If you only have an audio output, then Griffin Technology do the 'iMic' USB Audio input and output that's only US$39. Try Other World Computing for Griffin stuff, although most apple Centres also flog them! >10. Video card >Does Panther require a better video card than the >standard 128(?) that came with the Yikes 350 ? Panther can handle your graphics card fine. Unlike PC's, there are only a few dedicated graphics cards that are made for the G4, so you are less likely to have any incompatibility issues. You may consider upgrading the graphics card as the ATI 128 came in for a bit stick in some reviews. Pete -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
