The "connect to server IP" CLIENT feature appeared in OS 8.x, but the SERVER IP part might not have been bundled for free until OS 9 (this would mean you need OS 9 on the powerbook to serve this way). It would be free though, which ARA server might not be. Then from your remote Mac at home, you could use the "connect to server IP" feature in the chooser ( with 8.x or higher at home, this is bundled IIRC, might have appeared in 8.5) and connect to the 3400.
Actually, this appeared in 7.6, I believe. But it's really a function of OpenTransport and the AppleShare extension. OT 1.1.2 on System 7.5 ought to be able to do this.
Not for free until later versions of the OS. IIRC. You use "ought" so rephrase if you know it will work :) I recall that I tried, but it wasn't available for free at that time (that OS).
Very well.
AppleShare 3.7 or later is what enables this feature. Any Mac that can run AppleShare 3.7 (which means basically any Mac that can run System 7.5) ABSOLUTELY CAN use this feature.
I hate to pick, but do you mean as SERVER? built-in? that's cool if so, I know the _client_ worked 'cos I used it that way at that time. I really recall not being able to serve via IP though, (but that's a different Q then, if it was supposed to work).
Well, what I was talking about here is not the server, it's the client. Open the Chooser, click AppleShare, then, if you have 3.7 or later, you'll be able to click the "Connect to Server..." button. So I'm not talking about a server at all. I'm saying that any Mac that can run System 7.5 can _connect_ to an AppleShare IP server (AppleShare server didn't include real TCP/IP functionality until ASIP 5 - previous versions were AppleTalk/MacIP only, AFAIK) or a Mac running ShareWay IP.
You're right - the server part didn't show up until 9.0. But the server part is really just ShareWay IP repackaged. ShareWay IP can run on a System 7.5 Mac with OpenTransport, though. It's not free - $79 or something for ShareWay IP Personal Edition. The confusion is my fault - I read your original email too quickly and glossed over the part where you started talking about the server portion...
My take was that the reason for dial-in [... snip]
Gotcha - we're on the same page then! ;-) Peace, Drew
