Dale,
By your first comment, I'm assuming that the new A2066 card is almost
ready. I'm going to have to give some serious thought as to how I will
proceed. I talked to one of our network specialists yesterday who told me they
are just about to get a SLIP server online. If they do, then I can do tcp/ip
access via the Amiga/Amax since I have MacTCP and MacSLIP with the Microphone
II Pro software. That presents a less expensive way to allow normal access to
our network via telephone dialup. However, the hardware solution is more
costly. I would need the network card and software for the Amiga, but then
there is little else available for the Amiga in the way of network tools, and
the university's network provides no Amiga support.
In the long run, it seems my easiest solutions involve the Mac
emulation. Of course, if the university buys me my own new, fast Mac to
replace my old, slow SE, then I won't even need the Amiga!! Then I'd have to
figure out how to get rid of an unnecessary 3000.
