Hi there! Is there a chance to use a telnet-connection from my IIgs (GS/OS) via Appletalk and a Mac with localtalk bridge to access my linux box with a telnet client? I'm a little bit confused after to nights with google.... :-(
Yes and No. :-)Telnet is a TCP/IP protocol and as such does not run over Appletalk let alone localtalk. You can use a serial cross-over cable straight from your IIGS to the linux box.
On the IIGS, run Marinetti which includes a telnet client.On the Linux box, setup a ppp account and modify /etc/initab to listen on a serial port (mingetty).
Now it's a matter of setting up Marinetti to login to the linux box, get an IP address and whala, you are connected.
