The players: 1 TOTALLY CLEAN System 7 external hard drive. No INITs except MacTCP 1.0.1. Installed on the Plus using the "Easy Install" option from the Sys7 CD. 1 Moderately clean System 6 external hard drive, with MacTCP 1.0.1 (Both drives are identical hardware & disk drivers.) 1 SE/30 (5M), hooked to PhoneNet w/gatorbox 1 MacPlus (4M), hooked to same The results: System 7 Hard Drive | System 6 Hard Drive --------+-------------------------------+---------------------------- MacPlus | sucks rocks* | works fine --------+-------------------------------+---------------------------- SE/30 | works fine | works fine --------+-------------------------------+---------------------------- *Eudora and NCSA Telnet mostly work, but with *frequent*, *long* pauses. Connections sometimes die of sheer boredom. FileSharing seems to work just fine (turning it off does NOT affect the problem, nor does the AppleTalk 52 INIT.) The mac as a whole works fine (well, I won't say it's made me a believer in System 7, but it works). Is anybody else having a problem with MacTCP 1.0.1, a MacPlus, and System 7? Is anybody NOT having a problem with this configuration? If nobody can shed any light on this, I guess I'll have to wheedle somebody into helping me with a LANalyzer... -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
