A good place to start is the threemacs.com site -- tonnes of great
information and those folks have even created a downloadable file so
that you can have their website on your hard drive to view it
offline. I found it especially helpful for working out the various
possibilities that I had regarding an iMac, '040, PB5300 and HP 5MP
localtalk printer. I still haven't got the network fully up yet but
I'm getting there.
