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!

I have a 5500/225 that came without an ethernet card, and I just bought a new graphite iMac (Sweet!) to replace it. The iMac, of course, comes only with Ethernet. So, I bought the …

You need to use a crossover cable that has wires 1&2 swtiched on one end with 3&6. These are available anywhere ethernet cables are sold. If you are using a standard patch…

Hmm... how interesting! Can you tell me why this is?

Well, regardless of why I need a crossover cable (used to connect to hubs, I thought) instead of a regular patch cable, I purchased one this afternoon and I'm now downloading all 1…

The reason you need a crossover cable is that one pair is transmit and the other is receive. When you have a hub it connects those two pairs together. Without it you have to connec…

I am actually not confused, instead I am quite aware of the differences between a megabit and a megabyte. And, therefore, my calculations told me that 100 megabits is equal to abou…

Are you sure that it connected at 100Mbps? Did the lights light up 100 on both sides? Also, you don't get the full 12Mbps as their is some network overhead especially with AppleTal…

That makes sense... The light was on on the 5500, but the iMac doesn't have a light with its built-in ethernet. I can understand why the PCI implementation on the 5500 might be slo…

In my newspaper lab, we have 24 5500/225's with 100Mb/s ethernet cards that were put in about 3 weeks ago. The hub(s) are really nice professional models that always run at 100mb…

i have a power mac6500 and performa 6200 (along with my imac at home) at a beauty salon. one in the front of the shop the other at the rear. what s the best way for an ignorant pe…

The best, cheapest, quickest way is PhoneNet...however slow it may be. They (any electronics/computer store) sell these kits (sure its a MAC kit) that have two plugs for your seri…

I am about to get an iMac, and I need to be able to print. Without buying a new printer. I have an NEC Superscript 860, great printer. But it has no Mac drivers. It is, however,HP…

Get the PowerPrint USB kit from Infowave. It includes drivers for all major printers and includes a USB to Parallel adapter. It costs about $99 and is widely available. drewman

Well, there is a network version of PowerPrint, which lets several Macs share a PC printer via ethernet, but I don't know if it lets PCs use the printer then. Check out www.infowav…

Unfortunately, I believe that all the current systems like DirecPC which uses the same kind of satellite system as your friends Sony only support PCs. DirecPC 2.0 does have a USB …

This is a stretch, but... Is there any way to hook up a satellite dish (in this example, a Sony Mini-dish) as a modem connection? I'm asking for a friend who lives in a fairly rur…

I want to configure ppp under system 7.1.x on my powerbook 150 (4MB Ram). Which version of TCP/IP or open transport will work, and where to get?

You will need to use MacTCP which is getting hard to find these days. Open Transport doesn't work on systems older than 7.5.3 If you can find an old copy of the book Macintosh Int…

Kritze, You can find MacTCP at: http://www.eden.com/~arena/jagshouse...internet.html. Scroll down the page a little. David

Considering that a PDA is essentially a little computer, not just another peripheral; and also considering that these little devices are awfully trendy at the moment; how about a P…

I, too, think a "PDA" forum would be great. Not only would it be helpful for users of Palm products, but it could also serve as the "Newton" forum that sine so badly wants.
