This is indeed a very good program to give internet access to older macs without an ethernet port, using a bridge machine (I have a copy of this software somewhere...). I have personally used this to surf the web on a Plus! The thing that this software does not do however, is bridging the two networks together, it merely allows for MacIP over LocalTalk serial. Better it is to use Apples LocalTalk Bridge (or a hardware solution... difficult to find nowadays...) which will bridge the two networks (Ethernet + LocalTalk), but in turn does not transfer IP packets. // Peter. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
