Yes, yes, yes, ?, yes, ?, no. Try ftp or www to netbsd.org to get a start. I've got a list of various ports at home. If you like, I'll remember to mail it to you. >Can I build up a LocalTalk LAN between my PowerMac and my BSD-Performa? >TCP/IP, I guess, right?

Ethernet works with certain (Apple and Asante', for instance) cards. You can also use serial SLIP or PPP, or plain old tty for a terminal application on the PPC. *IF* LocalTalk were supported, in my lab I've found that it's fast enough for telnet...you could even get away with X. -Carl Holmberg-------------HMSC Bldg 842/9---------"Fine Guided------ -CMHolm@va24669.tu.hac.com-P.O.
