[comp.sys.mac.comm] MacTCP, Network, fx Problems...

Thanks to all the suggestions to my networking problem. I think I know
what the problem is. Apparently, our Star Controller must be upgraded
to handle fx's on our network. Farallon told me that their old black
box needs to be upgraded to the biege model. I was also told (by
Farallon) that I would need to use a CDEV from Apple called the FX
Serial Switch. The fx handles serial calls differently, and this switch
will allow the fx to understand the old calls. Maybe someone else
could explain this better.

I won't know if my problems are solved until I get the upgrade to the
Star Controller, but I've got my fingers crossed.
