}Well, not if you have Ethertalk and NCSA telnet. Stuffit 1.31 and
}binhex 4.0 run under A/UX, so you can stuff or binhex your files (since
}NCSA telnet will only xfer data fork files), then transfer them over with
}the FTP stuff in telnet..then unstuff or unbinhex them.... this is
}assuming that you have a MacII with A/UX and another Mac that can
}talk to it over ethernet.
Your tip is appreciated, but I was pointing out the apparent difficulty
with intra-Mac file transfers. BTW: Using MFS floppy intermediaries,
is it straight forward to transfer a file that is larger than
the storage capacity of a single floppy disk?
}}Also, the MacII can not be configured to automatically boot A/UX
}Huh? The SASH application is more than happy to start A/UX up for you
}automatically, just make it the startup application, then configure it
}to automatically boot...
My apologies for the error...I was simply echoing what an Apple sales
rep. told me at a pre-release introduction to A/UX about 3 weeks ago.
In fareness to comp.sys.mac readers and Apple, I should have also pointed
out that I have only ~5 minutes of experience using A/UX.
