Just so happens that this will be the subject of my presentation at kfest. :) But in a synopsis:
There's two ways of doing this-- 1) find an ISP that is either local or has a local number to you that offers dialup shell (Foxvalley.net is one--and has users all over the country: lots of Apple II folk, a few C128, and even a few die-hard IBM types who don't like GUI's.) 2) set one up yourself. Put linux on an IBM (486's are easy to find and work well), and let it connect to the internet - DSL or cable work well but you can even do this dialup. COnnect your Apple II to the linux box. You can use a serial connection with any Apple II, or if you have a GS, use the LANceGS card. Once you're connected to the linux box, log in, and use it as a pass thru to the 'net. Of the two, the 1st is the easiest, of course. I don't work for Foxvalley.net, just a satisfied customer (8+ years now!). You can see if there's a local number for them in your area at: http://www.foxvalley.net/cgi-bin/National_POPs?n Later.................Howard ____________________________________________________________ Computer n.
