I want to find a way to send files from a mac II to an IBM AT and
visa-versa. Text files, that is. Just what sort of networking have people
been doing between these machines, and what are you using? Inquiring minds
would like to know.

Netware for the macintosh allows macs who think they are connected to an appleshare network to actually be connected to a AT based network. The AT server acts as the appleshare server, storing all the mac files in mac format. The PC based workstations see the macs as more PCs, and the macs see the PCs as macs. I have seen a beta-version, and IT WORKS! David Deitch, Computer Connection dwd0238@wucec3.wustl.edu Fido 1:100/22

If it's one Mac to one AT -- which happens to be my set-up -- you should consider MacLink Plus by DataViz. It transfers and *converts* (Word, Lotus, text, binary, etc.) files very quickly via a serial cable (provided). It can also provide conversion between different formats on the same machine. It's not a network but it meets my needs and I'm very satisfied with it. -- Frank Kolnick, consulting for, and therefore expressing opinions independent of, Computer X UUCP: {allegra, linus}!utzoo!mnetor!frank

With Kermit, either machine can be run as a server and the remote machine can get files from the server fairly easily. You would only need to purchase a null modem cable for connecting the IBM to the Mac. nghiem@emx.utexas.edu.
