I'm looking for a program that will allow me to connect a remote
Macintosh by modem to an AppleTalk network and allow the remote
computer to act just as if it were a normal node on the network (ie.,
share files and use printers).
I believe that Carbon Copy Mac and Timbuktu Remote will do the trick,
but I'm not sure. Do you know if either of these programs will do the
job, or if not, is there a program that will do it? I'd also be
interested in any specific comments you have on any of these
programs.
I would appreciate very much your replying directly to me and if
appropriate I'll post a summary of replies. Thanks for your help.
Regards

You need a Shiva NetModem and the software that comes with it. It does just exactly that. Bob Fawcett | bob@pirates.armstrong.edu | Internet Academic Computing | bob@pirates.uucp | UUCP Armstrong State College | 11935 Abercorn Street | Savannah, GA 31419

I have a Hayes v-series 9600 and it would be a waste for me to buy this modem when I already have a reliable, high-speed modem. -Dave ____ Dave Slotter - tdslotte@mcs.drexel.edu - I speak only for myself. / / / / Vice President, The DUsers - The World's First Mac User Group / / / / James Creese Student Union at Drexel University / / / / ___ ___ ___ ___ 3210 Chestnut Street / / / / /__ /__ /__/ /__ Philadelphia, PA, 19104-3412 /____/ /____/ ___/ /___ / \ ___/ (215)895-2573 voice (215)895-2579 BBS

This gives you a network-connected serial port to which you can attach any serial device including your favorite high speed modem. The NetModem also comes in a 9600 variety. Mine is older and is the 2400 variety. I use it regularly to connect from home. Also, there is a chooser device that allows the modem to be shared across the network. I just bring up White Knight and dial as if the modem where attached to my Mac. Even the dialing sounds are digitized and sent to your mac speaker. Neat stuff.
