Actually I have mine serial printer lines IIgs to Mac with LocalTalk, then
to PC over ethernet line with AppleTalk. Both require AppleShare. PC
must have AppleTalk software, I use PC-MacLan. I will be attempting soon
a direct connection between PC serial port and IIgs modem port using
TCP/IP (Marinetti) and see what I can get out of that. I can see both the
Mac and PC on IIgs, and PC on Mac and Mac on PC, so far neither the
Mac nor PC can see the IIgs, apparently due to lack of file server software
for the GS. I'll let you know how I progress with the PC to IIgs connection.
