It's cumbersome, but it bypasses the whole AppleTalk/TCP jungle, and it works. I have OS 6.0.8 on my Classic, and 10.3.9 on my G4 PowerBook. The Classic is connected to the (text-only) Internet by a shell account and Version 1.0.1 of the terminal emulator program ZTerm with a 14.4k modem. The PBG4 uses version 1.1 of Zterm and its internal 56k modem. To transfer files back and forth, I upload them to the same BBS from one computer and download them to the other. File size is limited to about 800 k, and I have to stuff and bin-hex them and so on, but since the file sizes are small, the transfer times are only a few seconds. Best to wait till the end of your day's computing and move things all at one time. I'm not recommending this to anyone, but at the moment I have no way of connecting the Classic and the PowerBook physically, so this contraption does the job. And it's a hoot to retrofy Panther a bit... -- System6 is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> System 6 Heaven <http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html> System6 info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/system6.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:system6@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/system6%40mail.maclaunch.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------- iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deals www.1800ipod.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
