It was mentioned that Columbia Appletalk be used. I'd actually like to try something similar. What I'd like to do is use a MAC as a terminal to access the FreeBSD box, which also is running mail and WWW servers. The BSD box will contain a NE2000 compatible card. What hardware do I require to connect the MAC to the BSD box so that I can establish a PPP (TCP/IP) link ? -- David Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
