Okay, it looks like the demo version of PC Maclan 7.2.2 will let you create
users, but not login as them. The only user I could log in as is "Demo." The
Mac logged in and mounted the server fine. The IIgs, however, had the option
to log in as a registered user greyed out. Since I can't log in as "Guest,"
the IIgs can't connect. If I buy the software, this should't be a problem,
but will Marsha's hacked Appletalk CDEV give me the ability to specify a
username and password? If so, where can I download/buy it?
