[ Get a look at this short O(n) DES decryption algorith In the October '87 issue of Dr. Dobb's, a project is presented to allow AppleTalk to be used over RS-232 lines. This involved replacing the Appletalk Link Access Protocol with an asynchonous protocol to handle the link level. As suggested in the article, a very useful extension on this project would be a "bridge" to route packets between a machine on the other end of the RS-232 and the rest of an Appletalk network. I would like to know what others have attempted in the way of using a Mac' as such a router. To me, this is a project worth exploring, and I will welcome discussion via email on seeing this idea to life. -------- Lionel Hummel University of Illinois hummel@brutus.cs.uiuc.edu >_ Different from {ihnp4!pur-ee}!uiucdcs!brutus!hummel > posting address "Truth is after all a moving target; hairs to split and pieces that don't fit.
