Is it possible to remote boot a IIgs? I wasn't aware of that. Can you point
me to info about how it's done? I doubt I'd do it, just curious. My IIgs
has a larger HD than any of my Macs, but I've been thinging of putting
a big drive in the IIfx I just obtained to use it as a LocalTalk server.

I'm also looking for info about how to gateway between TCP/IP over AppleTalk
and TCP/IP over ethernet. I've got a stand alone AppleTalk<>Ethernet box,
but it appears only to transport the LocalTalk protocol without transforming
IP into the proper format. A couple of other options I've been looking at
are putting a AppleTalk card into a Linux box or using a Dayna SCSI Ethernet
interface on one of the Macs.

Any ideas on how to proceed are appreciated.

Eric
