Re: Apple // networking?

I've got a full Apple //c system and a small home LAN (including Win98

Just for amusement, I'm curious whether it's possible to network the
Apple //c somehow into my environment.  As I understand it, it's
possible to run a TCP/IP stack on a //gs (that won't help me here).  But
I'm wondering if it's possible to network my //c via the Mac iici
(serial connection, apple talk?).  Anyone ever do this sort of thing
before?

You could always pick up a null modem cable and use the //c as a terminal to the Linux box. Grab a term program somewhere and you can transfer files with ZMODEM. Naturally you'll need a spare serial port (which are cheap).
