- According to the MacTCP manual, I can run MacTCP through a direct
- Ethernet connection or over LocalTalk. To run over LocalTalk,
- however, I need a bridge which frames and unframes TCP/IP packets
- between AppleTalk and raw EtherNet protocols.
-
- So far, so good. But what if I want to use TCP/IP between two
- Macs -- no Ethernet, just two macs connected with LocalTalk. Can
- this be done? In theory, there is no need for the bridge since
- my packets never reach an ethernet network. In practice, I get an
- error -98 (port not configured) error when I try to PBOpen the
- driver. Am I simply not configuring things correctly or is what
- I'm trying to do simply not possible?
