- OK, now I know this isn't the same situation that you have, but her is how
- I have a similar link set up. We have an old Model-T GatorBox as a router
- for our labs AppleTalk net with a few machines on Ethernet running
- EtherTalk. One the machines on Ether has a Supra V32.bis modem running ARA.
- So to get my IP address I use the Remote Only selection in MacTCP. Kinda
- stupid and kinda slow, but the guys who service our Datability Server say
- they can't help us with dynamic PPP???? So name service is kinda funky
- occasionally and Apple has there own built in "wonderful" compression"
- scheme which means that the link never gets up to 57,600, but I get AUFS
- Icons on my Desktop!!!

- Good Luck,
