- What you're trying is possible, or at least once was. I demoed Fetch at
- the 1991 Boston MacWorld expo by hooking an ImageWriter cable between two
- Macs, running TCP/Connect II on one and Fetch on the other. I used static
- addresses (something like 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2), and I don't remember
- whether I got the hosts file to map names to these addresses.
-
- This was with MacTCP 1.0.1, and they may have removed this functionality,
- but it was there.
-
- Hope this helps,
