Re: The Network from Heck ver 4.0 its 4.0! was a typo!



Well actually...I have a 3270 card on one beast for direct IBM Mainframe comm, 
not hooked up because the IBM OS/360 would drain too much juice here in the 
North West, and besides, have you ever worked with old IBM BUS and TAG cables? 
 I DO have an old Compaq Proliant Novell server (EISA based tech) and used to 
run Netware 3.0 on it, but apps like SYSCON and RCONSOLE were too much like 
work!
  I have run traditional Arpnet, and other early stuff (that is why I have but 
don't use a TOPS Net setup), but again:   I am a network hobbyest, not  
masochist ;)
 
I forgot to mention on my page: I have a Apple Laserwriter IIg I built from 3 
seperate printers (2 Apple, and an HP) on the Ethertalk side witha 40 meg 
drive on its SCSI port for extra fonts, plus a Imagewriter II on one of the 
Localtalk runs also networked in.  I can get to either from bot the PC side 
and the Apple Side (and the Laserwriter is the ONLY one I can get to from 
BeOS!).

I played with Windows NT 3.1 briefly, but it was limiting.  
My  interest is in getting any beast from S100 BUS to a modern Athelon to chat 
and at the least pass files.   

But, my main love is the Apple II.  A read of here over the last year or 3 
will show there are actually MANY Apple II network solutions (Digicard, 
Appletalk, LANceGS, original Apple Ethernet cards:somebody has those out 
there!, and others.

Apple II is cool, and a network geek's dream
