[comp.sys.mac.system] Thanks for the replies re:Ethertalk & 7.0

Thanks to everyone who responded to my querry about EtherTalk 1 and Sys 7.  It
turns out that the problem was with my card driver and not with EtherTalk.  We
are using Novell(Shiva now actually) Etherport II cards.  The drivers for
theses cards are currently not compatable with Sys 7.  I talked to Shiva tech
support, not an easy task since they seem never to return your calls, and they
siad that there would probably be an update for their EtherPort IIi cards
within a month.  For all those of us who are unlucky enough to have the older
EtherPort IIn cards the future is not so clear.  There is nothing currently
underway at Shiva that would solve the incompatability problems.

The Tech support guy did say that there was recently a discussion about this on
AppleLink and that someone had posted a ResEdit hack, uh um work-around, for
this prob.  I have looked through all of the possible locations I could think
of to look for it in.  If any one has seen it could they please send me email
with the path.

Thanx again.
