I seem to recall hearing at one time or another that it is possible to use your home telephone wires (the ones in the wall) in conjunction with a PhoneNet LocalTalk adapter to run a small network to multiple rooms in a house... Is this possible?
What i have in mind is to plug a Duo230 into a LocalTalk/PhoneNet adapter, and plug the adapter into a phone jack in the bedroom. In the study, I'd connect my 5300cs to another PhoneNet adpater and thence into the wall. The 5300cs would run something like IPNetRouter to serve up MacIP addresses for the duo and bridge the localtalk network to an ethernet network and up to "the world" from there. Is this possible? I'll take tips on how to get my Duo online... but running wires along the floor (a good 75 feet or so) isn't really an option right now. My apartment is already wired w/ 10bT, but it seems to have been 1/2-a$$ed (don't get me started) and dedicated for our non-existant DSL connection, so plugging into the network that way isn't really an option either (besides, I don't have the Farallon EtherWave or whatever it was called). IDEAS?! I really want to get the Duo online :-) Peace out, Drew -- Having graduated (with a physics BS :-P), I will be using the email address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please update your address book. <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
