Or is this something that cannot work for principled reasons ? MacTCP (which is used by MacX) and the mX can't share an interface because both do a complete IP implementation which involves grabing all the IP packets from the interface. When MacTCP came out (quite a while after the mX) TI made an effort to convert to using it but ran into difficulties, the most significant of which, as I understand it, was that MacTCP didn't allow access to non-IP ARP packets so TI couldn't get ChaosNet to work. We work around the problem by running MacTCP through the LocalTalk interface and the mX through the EtherTalk interface, which allows them to run simultaneously. However, LocalTalk is a bit slow for X. -- Rich
