    Networking a Powerbook Duo: serial -> OS X/unix -> internet

    Okay, I searched for information about this and I came up with this: It appears that netatalk is needed. UPDATE: I probably know why I can't get it connected, Linux might not have the modem init string... Maybe, but does anyone know the modem in the iMac G3 350 MHz and where to configure the...

    Networking a Powerbook Duo: serial -> OS X/unix -> internet

    Thanks! I will have a go at this! How would I know if I have the stack installed? Does netatalk have this? I would need help figuring out what I need in the pppd command. This is what I have that can probably help: Connecting with the internal modem on the iMac G3, internet is connected...

    AMD Athlon Tower

    Wow! Nice system! My PC I built here is dieing for a new video card. At this point I wish I spent a bit more money and got myself a motherboard that could support a core 2 duo and PCI-E... Upgrading is going to be a pain as I will have to buy a new hard drive, RAM and video card... Not good when...

    Networking a Powerbook Duo: serial -> OS X/unix -> internet

    Is there a version that would work on Mac OS 7.5.3? I have it in OS 9 on my iMac so it might be possible to do a direct connect. But is there any software (Mac OS 9 or Linux) that could help me out here?

    Heh, The original programs lost their icons when I moved them from my Powerbook 150 via floppy. I don't mind, though it is annoying.

I use MacComCenter on the PowerBook and ZTerm on the other. It works okm I have the components taped to my desk and it is...

    Microdrive

    Hmm, these might be great replacements for CF cards for internal projects, I'm thinking my PowerBook 150, or if it could fit with an IDE to SCSI adapter, my PowerBook 180c.

    Serial Cable Lengths

    Well this isn't fun. The lowest I can set the baud rate to is 57600... Is there any other good cross platform solution? such as terminal emulators on both ends perhaps?

    Pictures as Backgrounds

    I have recently gotten a PowerBook 180c and want to change the desktop pattern to a 640x480 PICT image. I open it in simpletext and copy the whole thing, though when I paste it into the desktop pattern control panel, It says that the picture is too big. Is there any software that can help me out...

    Color Classic for the price of shipping.

    One question, how did you set it as a background? I have a few pictures that I converted to PICT and can't find a way to add them in with Mac OS 7.5.3 on my PowerBook 180c.

    Serial Cable Lengths

    It is a standard apple serial cable with about a foot and a half cut off, then joined to a nine pin PC serial cable (Wires wrapped together, covered in electrical tape). They are both shielded but not where they meet in the middle.

    Serial Cable Lengths

    I am having some trouble with sending files from my PC to my PowerBook 180c with Stargate (File transfer program). I have checked all the connections on my custom cable yet I still get slower-than-normal speeds and a ton of packets that have to be resent. The cable is quite long, could this be a...

    YES!!! PowerBook 180c!!!

    I used images of the restore disks and it works great! I have a few games and ClarisWorks on it. It is in my backpack with an ADB mouse, Power Cord and a floppy (Who knows where you might see another old Mac to get software from!). The keyboard is great, just like the one from my 145b in my 150...

    Well, in an hour, the transfer of a disk image of 7.5.3 will be done and I don't want to stop it.
