I have PC MacLAN running. Yeah! I am in the process of getting
an ethernet adapter for my Mac Performa 575. Once I get that,
I can see if I can get it to talk to Win2k and then if luck be with
me, I can get Localtalk bridge to work so that I can access the
PC network via Appletalk.  I am also hoping to get my Proxy
server to work so that I can browse the net from my Performa.
That way I can download files for the Mac directly to a Mac
volume and/or a IIgs file to the Mac bypassing the file translation
horrors of the PC to Mac world.
