All this ARA provider stuff works in 8.6? I thought it was still purchase-only at that time (for server). That's easier than getting setup over a 3rd party provider then (via PPP), then.
The server stuff let you connect multiple clients simultaneously. The built-in client (after OS 7.,5, I think) has always allowed a single incoming connection.
There's that "ought" and "think" again :) :)
Anyway. I guess someone with an old OS install is going to have to try and post. Next time I'm on my wife's campus I could try, but the lowest OS I have access to for client or server there is 8.6. But I have 8.6 on that 7100 that I could put on the network as server, and a beige G3 with 8.6 to try and use as client. I really suspect that IP-based server protocols won't work for free until 9.
Oh and 9.1 won't help George, the quickcams won't work under 9.1. I've tested _that_ one a lot at least.
