The Mac IIci's ethernet just recently started working (well, it didn't do it on its own, but you get the idea ;-). The Asante cards are my primary recommendation because I've been running two of them in my IIcx for a while. The older Apple cards should also work, and I think there's a Farallon that works, too. >I would like to put this machine on >the building network as a mail (smtp/pop3/imap), gopher (GN) and/or >www (WN, Apache, or NCSA HTTPd) server. Is this going to be feasible? Should work OK. I suggest that you get on the macbsd-general@netbsd.org mailing list. There are several IIci owners on there. One of them even did some timings--finding that NetBSD/mac68k runs several times faster than the older MacTCP drivers under the MacOS. -allen -- Allen Briggs - end killing - allen.briggs@bev.net ** MacBSD == NetBSD/mac68k ** Where does all my time go? <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/">Guess.</a>
