  Because it's RIDICULOUSLY slow compared to Ethernet except on maybe an SE.

It is cheap and easy, though. I have half the apartment on LocalTalk now that
I have a working bridge and the total cost was around $5 for a 50' length of
4-conductor phone wire. People are just giving PhoneNet boxes away :-)

The speed ain't so good, but it's really convenient.

The stability ain't so good either!

Subject: modem connector

 Slightly OT, as it concerns a PowerMac 6100:

 I noticed today that the white connector that fits around the pins on the
 modem connection is missing.  Bare pins.  It seems to work okay (as you can
 tell by this note).  I have spare parts machines, but haven't figured a way
 to pull one off.  Is it safe to use without it?  Any easy way to pull one
 off another machine?

It's a slide-in connector anyhow. Nothing holds it in except the friction of
the pins and the metal shell around the connector.

Re: KVM Switch Recommendations

2002-06-03 Thread Erik

 You could also give VNC (Virtual Network Computing)
 a try. Basically it's a multi-platform graphical
 host side terminal server and client side viewer.

 You can install the server then use any of the
 available viewer clients (which are standalone and
 require no installation) to operate the computer
 running the server remotely.

 What VNC does not do is file transfer. For that you
 can remotely operate e-mail, FTP, web browsers etc.
 I'm pretty certain it does support copying and pasting
 text between most servers and viewers. (Haven't
 used it in a while.)

 But best of all is that VNC is FREE! :)

I use VNC on my (yeucch) PCs and on my Macs *and* on my Linux boxen. I like
it a lot!

 Hi Erik.  VNC on PCs and Linux ( other Unix) boxes is great, but for
 Macs, I find it lacking.  The big problem is its lack of Command-key
 support.  Technically the protocol DOES support those keys, but I have
 never found a server/client config that would do it.  Have you?

Nope, but I've never really needed to use anything keyboard-wise. I mainly
use VNC for monitoring my servers.

Good luck getting it out of the SE/30 - it's not socketed :)

Pushing a 16MHz part to 25MHz might work about half the time if you're
lucky.  Pushing one to 33MHz (LC III +) will *not* work, period.

So are all Macs auto-switching. If not, how to recognize which Mac is?

Most will say near the plug if they are; if it doesn't say, assume it's NOT
unless you find out otherwise.

For instance, the Plus and earlier are definitely NOT.

Most Macs after the Plus ARE, but there are some exceptions.

Sorry, I should have seen that.  My ISP (and other  major Canadian ISP's)
will be putting a cap on downloads to 5 Gigs a month (73H Ÿü©#3®‰).  Beyond
that they start charging you. So I'm unsubscribing from mailing lists till I
find better Internet service.  Hopefully nothing will go wrong with my Plus
or Color Classic till then.?  Thanks for all the help everyone.

The back of my IIci says 100-240V. So if it's like
