You can network 2 computers together using a "crossover" cable connected to the network (ethernet) ports of both computers- so this requires that they both have these- they're about $10 ea for PCI cards, as is a 6' crossover cable. You then turn on Appleshare in both computers' Chooser control panel and set the appletalk control panel to "ethernet". I'm not sure if these control panels were the same in OS7 though. That's the basics- I can give you more details if you want. I have a Starmax networked to my G3 Beige using a long cable going through a hole I drilled in the floor- they're on 2 different floors of my house. It's great for moving apps and files from 1 to the other- superfast. I find I don't use it very often any more though, after frequent use the 1st month. George
