Sure, in large part. Making this work on a PB 150 is kind of a hassle; making it work on a PowerPC mac is much simpler (OpenFirmware does the negotiation for you). If you don't have a lot of experience futzing around with serial connections, it's not going to be worlds of fun. In any case, it's more like using a serial console on any Unix machine (Sun, Digital^WCompaq, so forth), but the differences between that and what a Cisco does with its serial port are more in what goes across the connection than in the ways they're connected. (Really, it's not, at the transport layer, any different than plugging an Apple serial printer into that port would be.) > So if I found a ssh client for MacOS 7.1 and hooked up the serial line to > another box I could do this too huh? I don't understand why you'd use those two things together. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
