Paul,

    That would be the poblem then. It is PowerPC flavored. It's a Performa
6400/200. I also have an LC with a IIe card in it that I can try as well as
a host of Mac II machines of various flavors (II, IIcx, IIci, IIfx). I even
have a few original Mac machines, SE, SE with hard drive and Classics. At
one time I had a Gator box set up to provide a bridge between AppleTalk and
Ethernet. I guess I'll have to get it out of the closet again. Or I could
use the SE with the ethernet card in it as a bridge. That seemed to work at
one time also. I have a couple of Win2K machines with the Apple Network
extension installed so I can share files between my PCs and Macs.

    Thanks so much for your help. If I cannot get the bridge working, I'll
take you up on your kind offer. I would have been fighting this thing
forever if you hadn't set me straight.

Thanks
