Generally, older Macs don't play well with modern routers. It is
much easier if you put a "dumb switch" between the older Mac and the
switch. If you do this, then the Mac TCP functions generally work.
The DHCP client in Open Transport can have some difficulties getting
a valid IP lease from some cheaper home/office NAT routers, due to a
lame time-out bug (that was mostly fixed in OS 9.2.2). But that's
easily fixable by using static addressing for that one Mac. Other
than that, there should be NO difficulties using an older Mac with
any "modern router" - using either MacTCP or Open Transport.
