Re: Shiva FastPath Help?

Thanks for the thoughts, but my aim with getting the IIGS on my
(TCP/IP) network is to 

1. Serve some static web pages "just because".
2. Get disk image files from an upstairs computer so they can be
written on a real floppy using the Finder.
3. Read and play music files permanently stored on another computer.

I want the IIGS to speak AppleTalk (for 2 and 3) as well as TCP/IP
(for 1).


Kind of OT from my original post, but can anyone say if there is a
"canned AFP" on a Linux server out there? Something I can just install
from a CD that will act like an AppleTalk "Macintosh" file server so
the IIGS can read/write files? I thought I had this info handy, but I
don't.


Thanks!
