Re: MACLAN Connect



I assume you first want the PCs to see the Macs.  Now you
want the Macs to see the PCs.  Hrm...you want it all! :)

Anyways, my experience has been with a product that is
perhaps more popular than the one you mentioned.  It's
Farallon's PhoneNet PC.  You plugs the adapter into
the parallel port and load the drivers so it would translate
appletalk to (IPX?) packets.  

If one reverses the situation, the Mac would has to 
translate whatever protocol that the PC was using.
Never heard of any such things.  I think it's 
difficult to do...
