[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacTCP and alternet .ENET drivers

chuck@brain.UUCP (Chuck Shotton) (06/23/91)

After poking through all of Inside Mac and some of Inside AppleTalk, it seems
possible to write a ".ENET0" driver (adev?) that would allow MacTCP to talk over normal
serial connections.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how hard this might be, or if it's the right
approach at all? Has anyone done it yet? Where are the docs on writing ENET
type driver? (Inside Ethertalk?)

See Inside Macintosh Volume VI.  It is in the AppleTalk chapter -- there
is a whole section on the .ENET driver.
