Hi. I may be getting to take home a DN3000. It'll have Domain_OS 10.2 with a minimal BSD configuration. ( I hope it fits on its 80 MB disk :-) Is there any way to network it with my Mac plus (other than kermit?) Thanks for any suggestions. chet. -- Chet Wood ~ (408)727-3357 X269 chet@Advansoft.Com .

There are third-party AppleTalk solutions that run on Domain/OS, unfortunately I don't recall the company names, but there are several companies that do this kind of gateway. You can also get an ethernet card for the Mac, in which case you may be able to run CAP, which I believe is a PD program that provides AppleTalk compatibility over ethernet (anyone have it running on the Apollo?). Frankly though, I think your biggest problem is going to be that 80meg disk. I have trouble getting by on 120. If you don't do any software collection/development you might be okay. -kee -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.

You should check the uShare ($1,200) product by IPT (1-800-233- 9993). It creates a folder on your Mac filled with the Apollo's files. You can either use ethernet or purchase an Appletalk interface (~$400) for your DN3000.

Most of the AppleShare products (including uShare, last time I checked) only support Mac AppleShare protocol, the full protocol also includes support for Apple II's. Frankly I'd love to have my Apple II linked to my Apollo (it would make running my BBS *much* easier). Does anyone know of a solution that handles the II as well? -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
