Hi Wayne, Actually, it's my friend using AppleTalk, *or* file sharing (if that is now distinguished in Panther) - he's trying to interface the G4 with 2 Emacs just purchased, and an HP LaserJet (1600 I believe). The Emacs perform flawlessly via AppleTalk (though your suggestion bears sharing; he would have to check to see if an Ethernet card is available for the model printer he has) - the G4 refuses to go out and look around (so to speak). I find it very strange that it (the G4) can do all the network things one is supposed to do with the Ethernet port *except* outgoing file sharing (again other units can reach out and connect TO the G4; the G4 can't reciprocate) - it does not make sense.
Question no one has answered yet: can Panther interface with OS 9 machines?
