Does anyone know if there is a program that can be used to make
old macs work as answering machines?

I've got an airport base station ("snow") plugged into my desktop
macintosh and the DSL modem. All very conventional. Nothing else is
physically connected to the network. I use wireless to communicate with
my Macintosh laptop. It works fine in any combination of OS 9 or OS X.

I have a quite old iMac (slot-loaded) running Mac OS 9 that I would like

Mac OS 9, however everything I can find today requires Mac OS X (10 ...

I set up a wireless network for some friends some time ago. It was
simple setup of a DSL Modem/Wireless Router, and 2 PCs all with
Wireless cards in them..

I have an old M68K Q650 Mac with OS 7.5.5, TCP/IP 1.1, and it won't always
accept an IP from my Nexland Pro 400 router. (Usually, it fails.)

Sorry for cross posting this but I'm not sure what group would be best
for it.
I just got a nice Laserwriter 16/600 off ebay for my daughter to use at
college.  Ultimately, I am hoping she can print to it wirelessly.  

I have four macs networked together and everyone can see everything on every
computer. That's great for me (the owner).
I want to share  ONLY a FOLDER on my machine with my daughter so she can send a
file over here when she's done with it and needs to print it from here.

I have four macs hooked up to a LAN.
The LAN goes to a router, then a cable modem.
All the macs are 10 base-T (built in)
The hub and router are 100 base-T

I recently set up a wireless network with my Powerbook G4, Power PC
7500, and Powerbook Firewire Pismo.  I had never purchased an Airport
card for the Pismo so I've been connected via ethernet cable to the
Linksys wireless router. The G4 Powerbook is connected wirelessly via

Still trying to get files off my old 9500 into my G5 with no success. The G5
manual says click on Go > Connect To Server, and then click on Local Network. I
don't have that showing anywhere. How do I get "Local Network" to show up in
that window? Thanks ;-).

Tonight I just sucessfuly got my four mac network on a hub, connected to my
Belkin Router, then to highspeed cable modem......I LOVE THIS.!!...
Question:

I haven't stopped by com.sys.mac.comm for a while. I just spent a
couple hours in Google Groups searching for an answer to my problem. I
humbly come to you folks for help.
I have a Snow ABS that I'm using as a WiFi and ethernet router. For my

Is there a proper or preferred convention for including URLs within text? I
have been a proponent of embracing a URL within angle brackets but have been
told by others that this is incorrect. My preference for the angle brackets
is because they clearly identify the beginning and ...
