Hi Martin. I also run PCMacLan on a Mac/PC hybrid network. If you include some sort of
an Ethernet hub (or router or whatever), and network it to your ISDN modem, then
attach your PC and Max to the hub; your Max will use the Internet independently of the
PC. That means that PCMacLan does not come into play in any way. (I am assuming that
there is nothing to do with your ISDN setup that is PC-dependent.)
By the way, there are some problems with PCMacLan. The one that bugs me the most is
that if you try to transfer files or folders with long file names, it won't work and
you get a very cryptic error message that leads you to believe that something else is
wrong.

What you really need to do is to set up your printer to be a networked printer by also
attaching it to the aforementioned Ethernet hub. Then, each machine will access it
independently. You will probably need to get a Printer Port to Ethernet adaptor. Check
with Lexmark for availability.
