I've got a PC running FreeBSD 2.1.5. I'm going to install an EtherNet card in it soon. Probably NE2000 based. I also have a Mac 512. Old I know.. I'd like to put the Mac to use as a terminal hooked up to the FBSD box. Can I hook the Mac up to the FreeBSD box using a RJ45 crossover cable to the AppleTalk port/connector on the Mac ? Will TCP/IP work over such a connection ? To quote the CAP FAQ > What extra hardware is required for CAP ? This depends on the type of UNIX operating system being used. On SUN SunOS or Solaris, DEC ULTRIX or Digital UNIX, BSDI 1.1 or 2.0, NeXT, FreeBSD 2.0 or NetBSD 1.0 machines, CAP can speak Phase 2 EtherTalk packets using packet filters based on the Stanford ENET model (NIT, PacketFilter, DLPI) or the Berkeley Packet Filter. Does this imply that I can make the direct connection ? -- David Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
