Re: Ethernet card- alternatives?

[Brian G Long <bl2y+@andrew.cmu.edu>]

	Well, I'm not sure about the outside world, but here at Carnegie
Mellon, Macintrash's with mere AppleTalk hookups can still gain TCP/IP
access by sending datagrams to what is called a K-Box...which in turn
sends out TCP/IP packets, and the output from that is then sent back to
the Macintrash via a datagram.  It's pretty nifty.

	I am sorely lacking documentation on both AppleTalk and this K-Box
thing, but I am going to start playing around the atalklib files and see
what I can do.  I just got my GS back together (it almost didn't make
the trip from Arizona to CMU), and got a working C environment, so I
will keep you posted on whatever I get done.

	Maybe I didn't exactly address the issue of Ethernet, but the only real
application I see for it is TCP/IP...
