Re: request for best way to hook up two appletalk networks I don't know the best, and am interested in what others think. I have used the following: Shiva NetSerial allows dial-up to appletalk network and then makes your remote mac act just like it's on the other net. This works well, easily, etc. including printing, appleshare access to servers (ours are actually unix machines bridged by Cayman gatorbox), quickmail, etc. One serious problem: it is 100x slower than appletalk (using 2400bps modem), making, in my opinion, many things impractical: printer, copying files from servers, etc., for any size at all. Quickmail has it's own dial-up capability. Much better if you use QuickRemote but workable from dumb terminal, too. It's also supposed to be able to automatically call another network to transfe mail, unattended. I haven't used timbuktu.
