I have a remote Unix server (running FreeBSD obviously) connected
to the 'net via a T1 (local 10b-T network connected to T1 actually).
Besides my usual work, I'd like to set it up to serve AppleTalk so I can
perform File Sharing operations and play a few games of Hornet against
some friends.
I've looked at the ARNS server software, but it looks like I still
need a Mac on the network that the Unix server is connected to. Is this
true? If so, is there any way I can get around this? I don't have a
second Mac available to perform any kind of network operations, and
frankly, I'd rather have the FreeBSD box taking care of everything since it
has twice the memory and power compared to any Mac I currently have. If
there is a total Unix solution for what I want would someone please, please let
me know about it.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
