Thanks for the info Clark, can I have some more?
You say you had problems with osX, what rev were/are the G3's you
tried it on? My beige (got the spelling right this time) has a rev 3
board. Were yours earlier versions, hence the trouble?
Can you tell me what set-up you have on the machine running os9 so I
can weigh up the options available to me.
I don't know what versions the MB and ROMS are. It's something I'm
investigating at the moment.
The Beige I'm running as a server under OS9 is running IPNetRouter to
provide MacIP for the older Macs and XTension, a home control
program. I'm also running Personal Web Sharing with some
AppleScripts to communicate with XTension.
Many thanks, Ivan

Hi fellow listers,
I'm thinking about using my old biege G3 300mhz as a web server,
installing Jaguar or Panther (with XPostfacto) on it.
Do any listers have any experience of using a similar set-up and
how did it work out? I'd like to know what server apps you used
and any other info that would be useful to me.
I have a Beige G3 running as a server under OS 9. None of the
Beige G3s I have seem stable enough under X, either Jag or Panther.
They have a tendency to freeze at random.
I do have a B&W G3 running under Panther as a server. I have DHCP,
DNS, FileMaker Pro, iTunes, Darwin QuickTime Streaming Server and
AFP running as services on it. I use Webmin to control /
administer DHCP and DNS. It all works pretty well. DHCP doesn't
(yet) start up automatically when the server starts. I'm also
having trouble getting DHCP to recognize client IDs and assigning
static IPs accordingly. I'm also looking to setup VPN and NTP
services.
