Guess you are looking at A/UX for the machine? I'm going from memory which is failing this old guy but I recall that the IIsi ran A/UX and it was based on the SE/30 but I don't remember whether or not SE/30 will run A/UX. It's dead at work tonight so here's what I could dig up on the web. Guess the other thought is what about running something like Quid Pro Quo under the normal Mac OS or an older version of FirstClass or Telefinder server? TeleFinder will give you a mail and web server granted it is no longer being actively supported but is available via http://tfbbs.com/. http://www.applefritter.com/ui/aux/index.html http://www.faqs.org/faqs/aux-faq/part1/ http://www.nleymann.de/appleAUX/AppleAUXMain.htm http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=A%2FUX+mac&meta= http://www.unixguide.net/unix/faq/6.6.shtml Good luck.
