Hello,
Tom Vanco here again. I'm still thinking of running MacBSD on a
IICX as my SLIP gateway from the Internet to my local ethernet network,
over a 14.4K modem linkup to bridge them. But now I've gotten
suggestions that I should try A/UX or MachTen. Has anyone ever tried
them? What is the advantages to either of those to MacBSD?
Disadvantages? What I really want is the most stable gateway I can get,
the least amount of hassle, and the most compatibility. Also, the most
speed I can squeeze out of a 14.4 is important too. Cost is not a
problem, so I can get A/UX is it's the best for the job. Also what would
be nice is to keep a Mac interface somewhere, I believe A/UX and MachTen
can do this, right?
All help anyone can provide would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Vanco
