Does anyone know how to put a IIgs onto a network? I want to hook my
IIgs into my home network so I can access email, usenet, etc.
I could probably set one of my other computers up as a ppp server and
hook the IIgs modem up to the server modem in a null modem set-up or
something like that, but I was wondering if there was something else
like ethernet for IIgs or AppleTalk... I read something recently on
slashdot about a project like this.
To hook a IIgs up to a network you have several options including Ethernet,
Appletalk and Serial ports...
*Ethernet*
LANceGS http://lancegs.a2central.com/ ready made card for the IIgs/IIe that
uses Marinetti TCP/IP stack on the IIgs
Roll your own with something like my project
http://members.rogers.com/apple2stuff/AppleII_ethell_inks.htm which is what
I think you saw on slashdot. Since this is a project not a product it is
probably not what your after :O)
*AppleTalk*
You need an appletalk to IP bridge like a Gatorbox or IPNetRouter and
Marinetti
*Serial*
Marinetti also supports SLIP and PPP ...
Or use a terminal emulator to a PC that has a shell account to a Unix box (I
am not to familar with how this works)
Have a look at SIS as well http://www.gwlink.net/sis/
For starters you may want to review the available FAQ's and a review of
previous newsgroup posts via google ..
