Does MacLan run under os2 (Warp)? Have you tried NetPresenz by Peter Lewis? (I'd like to know if you think it's rubbish :-) BTW, here is an alternative: according to c't 4 (1996), pp 376ff, you can use a serial connection (null modem) as the RS-422 of the Mac is compatible with the RS-232 of the PC. If you use a modern rate you can get a transfer rate of up to 230kb/s. - If you haven't got an ethernet card this is a pretty cheap way of connecting Mac and PC.
