Hi,
I've recompiled PCRoute for my ethernet card and the 
localtalk pc card. I read that the DOS drivers for the 
apple card had to be present, and I had the packet 
driver for the ethernet card installed.
There seems to be some snag concerning interrupts - the 
card is described as being used in "polled" mode whereas 
the PCRoute software seems to be expecting some kind of 
interrupt. So - no luck so far.

But then I haven't managed to setup neither Fastpath 4 
nor IPNetRouter to share TCP/IP over Appletalk.

I had asked before, but why won't my IIGS connect over 
the AsanteTalk interface where the Mac Plus does? There 
seem to be no drivers involved.
