Hi Jari and other Mac users,
I did not see and follow-up on this subject so I would like to add my 2 cents
worth.
A couple of years ago, there was someone in the USA working on a MacAX25 driver
that was to be a OT module pretty much like PPP or SLIP. I believe that the idea
was to create a kiss interface, so a TNC could be attached. Unfortunately, this
project was put on hold (or was cancelled) as the developer was putting his
effort on MacAPRS.......
Of course, if you have 2 Mac's (or a Mac and a PC) you can set-up one as a
gateway using an NET or NOS and interface to your other one where you can run OT
or MacTCP with Netscape and others.
This reminds me a bit of the 7Plus discussion there was a few years ago, where
there were complaints that there was no 7Plus available for the MacOS platform.
In the end there was someone who ported 7Plus.
So, to all you programmers out there : Any interest in porting Flexnet ot the
AGW suite to the MacOS ?
73, Marinus
