I haven't tried doing anything with Marinetti in a while...used it to
establish a PPP (or was it SL/IP?) link to my Linux box, but it wouldn't
close down the connection properly at the time.

Nowadays, I have my IIGS accessing netatalk shares on my Linux box through a
GatorBox CS.  (There's nothing like having 8+ GB of storage available from
an Apple II. :-) ) I've also tested MacIP through the GatorBox from a Quadra
610, not too long ago when I was figuring out how to get the GatorBox to
work.  Does Marinetti support MacIP now?  It'd be cool if it did...wouldn't
be able to log into the server with it as I doubt that anyone's ported SSH
and I don't want to use telnet, but it ought to be good for other stuff.
