I don't have my OS X 10.1 update yet so I haven't tried networking with older Macs. However, I think that your problem is more likely to lie with the version of the AppleShare chooser extension than with Open Transport. Your Mac running OS 8.1 is *probably* using AppleShare client 3.7.4 or higher which shipped with the OS. AS client 3.7.4 is compatible with Mac OS 7.5.3 through to 8.0 so it is worth giving that a try first. It's a small, quick download from Apple. If you want to be really adventurous, install AppleShare client 3.8 which allows you to communicate using AFP over IP (ie to connect to an AppleShare/IP server). Apple qualify this client for Mac OS 7.6 or higher but it works fine with a vanilla installation of 7.5.3 or 7.5.5 with Open Transport 1.1.2 -- I've used this combination on hardware from the SE/30 upwards to connect to a Windows 2000 Services for Mac server on which AppleTalk is disabled.
