Dear Folks, Does anyone out there know of ways to network Macs to Unix machines? In essence making the Unix machine a file server for the Macs? Jordan J.

(apres moi le deluge) The nicest way I've used for networkin macs to UNIX in the manner you describe is via KERMIT. (it also works for PCx to UNIX, PCs to Macs, Macs to PCs etc.) The newer versions of kermit allow for the UNIX node to become a server of the calling machine, so file transfer, directory listings, remote terminal capabilities are all supported. -david- ..!utzoo!ecrhub!david ..!utzoo!yetti!utrc-2at!davidh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- They only asked me one question, and David M. Haynes that was, "What is your name?" ..!utzoo!yetti!utrc-2at!davidh And I got 75% on that one... ..!utzoo!ecrhub!david [Peter Cook - Beyond the Fringe] Emerald City Research Inc. is very kind to let me use their machine, but in no way is even remotely responsible for the stuff I post.
