[comp.protocols.appletalk] TCP/IP for MACII with Ethertalk

SYS_MS@bmc1.uu.se (12/09/87)

        Hi,

        can sombody out there clarify for me who can supply TCP/IP (or other
protocol) that utilise the Ethertalk card in a MACII not runnig AUX.

        I am aware of KIP/CAP etc but is some of these packages compatible
with Ethertalk or do you need a Kietics gateway.

        We want to communicate with a couple of UNIX hosts (EFS would be
great) and also a couple of VAX/VMS hosts with CMU/TCP-IP

I would also like TCP/IP stuff for Ethertalk card on my mac II under Mac OS.

1) I want to plug my mac II into our Ethernet internet and communicate with
   the Hundreds of Hp unix boxes (running of course HP-UX).

2) I do not want to have to buy a Kinetics box. I do not see why I should have
to buy yet another box when my lowly Vectra (a lowly IBM pc compatible) can do
this with a 3com lan card and pc-ip software.

3) Would the NCSA Telenet software work? (under conditions in #s 1 & 2).

I have been using the ethernet version of the NCSA telnet (telnet2.1e) to
communicate with suns and vax's over an ethernet (using tcp/ip).

NCSA Telnet for the Macintosh version 2.1E supports EtherTalk direct
access.  It is part of the version 2.1 distribution.  Yes, full MultiFinder
support too.
