Using a IIfx with a cable modem as router machine on a 10base-t network, works fine, no lower speeds and very stable. I think it would be a waste to use a great machine like a 8600…

I agree, Jona. And I gotta recommend XLR8's bitchen new Carrier ZIF� card for the "Power Surge" series. It rocks!

I have an old iicx and i'd like to use that as a router for my cable modem. can anybody point me to some resources for maiking a macintosh router? any thoughtful comments would be …

I think the routing software most people are talking about on this discussion is IPNetRouter by Sustainable Softworks. In my opinion its a really great program. There's a demo at t…

IPNetRouter is awesome. I've been using it for at least a year. The latest version includes a DHCP server. It's irrelevant if you only run MacOS because Location Manager means you …

I use a Q650 with Vicom SoftRouter and have been really happy. Soon I'll be moving to an X-Router from MacSense. Does the same thing but through a little hardware hub type thing. …

I'd just like to say thanks for all the input. I've decided to use the Quadra for routing based on the responses I've gotten. Thanks again Tony

I am looking into buying and older powerbook for e-mail and word processing. I would also like to be able to network it with my iMac. I was wondering which model you would recomm…

I have a 540c in good shape which has ethernet, I think 20 meg of RAM (I'll check if you're interested). It's a good choice in that it was top of the line when built. Active color …

Couple questions: How much RAM? 320 or 500MB hard drive? Modem speed? What software does it come with? Do you have all cords, and batteries? Has the processor been upgraded or…

The PB 500-series is particularly cool if you can find a PPC CPU daughtercard to pop into it. Otherwise you're ceiling is OS 8.1 and you're unable to run PPC-only apps (e.g. Office…

Can anyone give me an opinion comparing the display quality (color, sharpness) of the Apple 15" Flat Panel Display with the older 17" Colorsync? I now have a 17" Colorsync that I a…

Whatever you do, dont use any other resolution then the optimal one on LCD's. Borrow a Powerbook and find out how it looks. I have a 15" Studio display closeby and the quality is s…

he's right, The flat panel has similar quality, the color can be a bit off though if you do not calibrate a profile for the display. Don't settle for the Apple Default FPD profile…

The ability to scale is built into the display, not the MacOS. Otherwise you couldn't use the display on Wintel which you can. The system is called Manta and looks better than any …

Basically, though, about the Apple FPD vs ColorSync 17": as mentioned, the ColorSync 17 is not compatible with the G4s. BUT I personally would not necessarily choose Apple's fla…

My old system was a powermac 7500/100 and I was pretty happy with it. It did everything I needed, but then for my high school graduation I got a beige g3 333mhz minitower. Eventual…

According to NewerTech you are in bizness: MAXpowr G3 Carrier Card will launch you into the current day with ZIF technology. ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets are quickly becomin…

I need to setup my 6100 as a IP router and a server. I don't want to remove my G3 upgrade, so I am looking for devise that puts a ethernet port on my SCSI chain. I remember them be…

hi, what you really need is what's called an "AAUI Tranceiver" (sp?) as far as i know, all powermacs shipped w/ ethernet, but the earlier ones, such as your 6100, didn't have a nor…

Hi, thanks for replying. I already have a transcever. but I need another ethernet port.

Asante made one for the longest time, EN/SC. But as far as I knew, the drivers for it were NOT Open Trasnport compliant. And if I can extrapolate what you're trying to do, I'd gues…

Yeah, i'm switchiung to a sloted machine. Thanks for your postings everyone!

Can somebody tell me what the maximum length for a firewire segment is? I read in Macworld that a firewire segment can be 72 meters long, however, Orange Micro claims that you need…
