Which brings up an interesting question, one which I have been thinking
about recently.  If I had a modem connected to my Mac (PM 7500) and that
computer was connected to My GS through appletalk and GS/TCP, would I be
able to use the modem on the GS easily?  Or would I need special (read
expensive) software on the Mac to handle it?  The Mac would be running
System software 7.5.2, if that's any help.

Thanks for any help.
