Okay, after some research and testing. (I love doing this kind of stuff!) I found an article on how to setup Basilisk II and SheepShaver (Basilisk II's PPC twin,) for AppleTalk and TCP/IP on Mac OS X.

http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/appletalk_for_sheepshaver

I tried it out using Basilisk II running Mac OS 7.5.3, and successfully connected to my PowerBook G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2. :D

I even made a bash script to make some of the steps easier.

#/!bin/bash
sudo *Replace with location of Basilisk II folder*/BasiliskII.app/Contents/MacOS/BasiliskII & sleep 5

sudo ifconfig tap0 *Replace with an unused IP of your network* netmask 255.255.255.0

echo "Ifconfig Started!"
Them you open IPnetRouterX and save your configuration as described in the guide, so you end up with only two files to double click instead of all that typing each time you want to set it up. :rambo:

Pretty cool to get Mac OS X to run Mac OS VII to network with Mac OS IX. 8-o
