Hi there, small end user here. I just found this thread and I have to say that a successor to the asantetalk would be a pretty damn good device to have! No hurry though, we know these things take time.
Have you considered optionally using PoE to power your device? Given it would be always...
Yes, Guest login worked! Though with "Apple Standard VAM", "Encrypted Password" had its guest option greyed out.
I'm not a fan of having a passwordless guest account active on my local network, but it'll have to do for the moment.
About FTP, I didn't consider it because it doesn't keep the...
What I have:
a Synology NAS with the latest DSM 7.0.1-42218, properly configured, hopefully.
An iMac G3 with OS 9.2.2 and an Airport card
an LC475 with OS 7.6.1 and a Farallon PN592 network card
What works:
Connecting from the iMac: using AppleShare I can access and transfer files both ways>...
Yeah, the question was more about the port capacity, the role of the adapter board, and the hypothetical future use for better WiFi, within the limits and constraints.
Considering WPA can be used, but only with OS X 10.3, it makes me believe that Apple just couldn't be bothered to support OS 9...
What are the limitations with regards to the original Airport card and iMacs G3? Would a faster card like the Airport Extreme work with a hypothetical appropriate adapter? Could a modern homemade wifi module be used in the port somehow? Or is there a physical limitation with the slot itself that...
Yeah that's what I'm gathering. I'll try again with file sharing. Tbh this direct connection was mainly to test the device and see if it worked correctly. My goal was to use the AsanteTalk to connect the old Mac to my ethernet network and access files on a NAS. This seems compromised.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my old Mac SE/30 (6.0.8) directly to my not as old iMac G3 (9.2.2). And I'm having some issues: the connection is very unreliable, and I've never been able to share files, only start a multiplayer game of Bolo.
I'm starting to wonder if it's because I'm using a...
I know about dos mounter, accesspc, and pc exchange. Are there more? What are the differences between all these and which is the preferred these days?
I need it on a Mac SE/30 with system 6.0.8, but I'm also interested in a more general answer.
Thanks.
