Same here.  You wrote this to me on 9/6, and here I am today.  I saw a comment in this thread about something at the byte level with System 6.0.1, and while I know little about how the IIgs talks to the Mac, I'm inclined to agree.  I was moving some things around the other day, and in the course of doing this, I fired up one of my SE systems on the LocalTalk network.  With the LocalTalk bridge running on my Power PC 7200 in the middle, the SE could see my NT Server (running Services for Macintosh).  The Apple IIgs can't, and from there, I'm dead until I can afford to splurge on a IIgs Ethernet card.

Unless someone out there has THEFIX.SHK available for download. <g>

Looks to me like this is a corporate product with a corporate price tag.  I hate when that's the solution to a home problem. <heh heh> Just out of curiosity, though, I'll grab the product demo (www.miramar.com, in case anybody's wondering) and see what speaks to what.
