If so, I'd be interested in how it could be done. More than likely, I have completely misunderstood what I read and simply need to be set straight. Click to expand... Choose a …

the down low is back when you used a terminal emulator to access unix (type) servers, and the whole experience was text based, altho that could be mouse and menu driven, anything b…

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…

It creates zones, which are basically the network ports on the machine running it (e.g., ethernet and the two localtalk ports on a typical Quadra would theoretically give you three…

The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space. Click to expa…

To do any expanding of the funcationalilty of the 128k like you describe you are going to have to do real programming ( Pascal, C or assembler ). Click to expand... You couldn'…

I will run from a 1400/2400/3400/Kanga/Wallstreet/Pismo adapter as well as from a Duo ps if that's any use.

got this monster i dug out of a box, missing lots of stuff, but i forget if the mobo was any good or not. What is the pinout of the DC jack? thanks.

Just use a terminal emulator! Alternatively you could do a cut-down IP stack with PPP and minimized POP3 client.

Welcome to the world of Newton ... I have a 2100 sitting on my desk at home it gets the occasional use (criminal I know) I would probably use it more if my Powerbook 1400 was not b…
