- 1. Does anyone make an ethernet card for a PB 170? I doubt that anyone does,
- but you never know.
-
- Nopt card, but there are SCSI ethernet boxes; means he won't have
- EtherNet when he's running around, but that's sort of unnecessary,
- wouldn't you say? :-)
-
- 2. If I can not put an ethernet card in the PB 170, can I use an
- Apple Talk <---> Ethernet bridge?
-
- You could use a GatorBox or Kinetics box that has LocalTalk <-> IP
- translation, and use MacTCP on the PB to run MacX. I've done it, it
- works. (With the right stuff, you can run MacX over Remote Access,
- a little slow in 14,400 but bearable!)
-
- As for mac-based SMTP clients, there's a few names I have heard such
- as PopMail & Eudora.
