that sounds good on paper, but I found that with my SE/30 AND my Powerbook 145, I could never hook up via dialup modem to my local Freenet using OT (installing which bloated my System Folders to rude proportions). I run System 7.5.3 on the SE/30 I run System 7.0 on the Powerbook 145 (which only has 8MB RAM) I have had no problems on either of these machines, using Communications Toolbox and Eudora 3.0.1 (or some version around there), but TCP/IP never worked for hooking up, and the OT package made things worse (!) If I ever figure out, or hear, how to successfully hook up either of these old System 7 machines to OSX, I will write up an Idiot's Step-by-Step Hookup Guide and post that (similar to my Battery-Rebuilding and Soldering guides). It may not involve using TCP/IP or Open Transport, but I'm only guessing; sometimes going back to a more primitive setup as you put it, is the simplest route. I mean, if I'm forced to use System 6 in order to do it, I can live with that! -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
