Your questions raise more questions. Will either or both be on the
internet? If so, how do you connect now (dialup/cable/dsl) and do
you have an existing router or hub? When you mention terminators,
the only type of ethernet to use that was the really ancient
'thinnet' coaxial with a 75ohm terminator. Or maybe you are
referring to a 'phone net' network system...(uses telephone wires
with a small resistor at the ends, used on either serial port). Once
we have more specifics on the actual hardware information, then we
can make some assessments to the software settings.... Look for
model numbers, styles or markings on the equipment that will tell us
more about what it is. Or take a digital photo and place it
somewhere to see what the parts actually are. If you don't have a
place to post a photo, send it to me directly, not the list.

A friend of ours recently gave us his old UMAX system (tower, monitor,
keyboard and printer), which we would like to network with our Power
Tower Pro 250
system. The UMAX has a G3 in it and was upgraded, so it should be faster than
the PC250. Can anyone advise how to go about this? I believe we were given
all the Ethernet cables, terminators, etc., that we would need. How does the
hardware have to go? What settings do we need to turn on? Both machines will
be running Mac OS 9.1. Do we need to obtain any software or anything because
of the old technology? Are there any pitfalls awaiting us? Also, anyone know
if there's a list like this for UMAX? Lots of questions, but I'm sure
someone out there knows something about all this. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Monica
