Re: Apple IIgs to Win2K over Locaktalk Bridge... help?

["Tim Haynes" <trhaynes@yahoo.com>]

Hi Mark,

I will try the dummy user thing, but I'm not sure how it will help... do you
have to synchronize the user list between W2K and the SE/30?  Perhaps the
bridge will look for users with the same name and try to bridge with it...??
Is PC MACLAN a commercial product?

Thanks,
Tim
