- I imagine someone may have a summary of answers to this question already,
- which I'd love to see:
-
- What software/hardware do I need on a Macintosh Performa 400 to hook into my
- NeXTstation via ethernet? I know of MacTCP but am not sure if there are other
- options. I'm hoping to find an unbeatable bargain on an ethernet board for
- the Mac, if there is such an unbeatable thing.
-
- I'm mostly interested in cleanly setting up the Mac to print to the NeXT's
- laser printer, and to receive e-mail via NNTP from the NeXT (which gets its
- mail via a SLIP connection). If anyone can warn me about Postscript
- compatibility problems, that would be helpful too.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Eric
