It works! Hooray! But not all is so good... I forgot in my excitement that MacIP over LocalTalk is not supported in Mac OS 9.x :-(
So I got the LocalTalk/PhoneNet/AppleTalk network working over my phone lines, and I can trade files and all that. But go figure, IPNetRouter can't serve up MacIP traffic to my Duo over PhoneNet because Apple disabled MacIP over LocalTalk in OS 9! Bah humbug. And I'm not going to back my Wallstreet down from 9.2 just to run MacIP... What a shame. I've got a handful of desktop Macs running 8.x, but they can't be on 24/7 because of the noise, heat, and power draw. I've got a headless 5300cs (display cable broke when I was screwing around with it too much) that I suppose I could configure to boot into IPNetRouter and do all the routing for me - it runs 8.5. But I can't configure the HD yet, no display and all that, and no external video either... When my 5300ce gets here, I'll swap HDs, set up the software, replace HDs, boot up the 5300cs and tell you all how it works. Thanks for all the help! Everything works great - better than I expected even (except for the MacIP stuff). I'm going to go play with my Duo now, and set it up running a non-stop slide show of black and white Calvin & Hobbes comic strips... ;-) Tee hee... Peace out! Drew P.S. - RadioShack didn't have any 120ohm resistors... I bought some 100ohm and 22ohm resistors and wired them in series for 122ohms total. The alternative was to wire two 100 and 22 ohm resistors in parallel for ~18ohm equivalent resistance, then wire another 100ohm resistor in series for ~118ohms, but I figured 122ohm would be fine, required less work, and uses few parts. Works fine. ;-) Besides, w/ 5% tolerance on 100ohms, ... well, it's good enough for government work, eh? heh -- Having graduated (with a physics BS :-P), I will be using the email address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please update your address book. <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
