Almost but not quite. EtherTalk is an implementation of Appletalk over a physical ethernet network (10BaseT, et al). TCP/IP is a separate protocol suite. It, like Appletalk, will also run over ethernet. Localtalk and EtherTalk are both describing physical implementations of Appletalk; TCP/IP is something totally separate. -- *** Amber Rhea *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tangerinecs.com /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect open standards! -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
