[comp.sys.mac] Ethernet Query

barry@primerd.prime.com (03/14/89)

I have a MAC-II with 4MB of memory and a 40MB hard drive that I want
to connect to an existing Ethernet.  Most of the systems connected to
the net run UNIX (Sun and MIPS flavors), although there also a few
PCs (MS/DOS) and Prime 50s (PRIMOS) also connected. My current plan
is to buy the Apple EtherTalk board and use the NCSA TCP/IP package.
I'd like to get feedback as to whether I've made the right choice or
if there are better options I should explore.

Please respond by mail.  I'll post a summary if I receive enough
replies.

Thanks in advance
         Barry

Sounds like a great choice to me.

NCSA Telnet supports all EtherTalk compatible boards and devices.
