Hey everyone, I've been trying to follow along with this thread with no luck I'm trying to hook up my PowerBook 180c to an intel Mac-Mini with 10.6 to no avail... I have a USB-to-Serial adapter that is recognized by the system, but I'm not sure what to do in order to connect the two.

The only network-related programs I have available on the PB is the standard MacTCP and TCP/IP control panels. I have no way of transferring any files to the PB unless I get this working.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you have a terminal program of some sort (MacTerminal, Microphone, ZTerm, anything that uses the Apple communications tool box) for the PB? You need to get MacPPP on your PB if you want TCP/IP access, or a terminal program if you just want to transfer files without using disks.
