http://marchintosh.com/globaltalk.html Quote GlobalTalk is the nickname we’ve given to the practice of using an ancient Apple Internet Router software package to bridge your local AppleTalk network (of vintage computers and printers) to the global network of the internet and other people’s vintage computers and printers. So essentially some folks are building a huge network of AppleTalk over TCP/IP. Anyone tried it? I wonder if somebody else remembers the guy who did exactly the same thing some years ago? I just can't remember his name or website ... at one point it was offline. He basically did the same thing. Somebody? |

I'm sure have been keeping an eye on this one, as it may just help me out hugely on my pet LAN projects!  I wonder if anyone posted either here, the Garden or some of the other Classic Mac forums on the earlier guy who did something related to this? I check out those forums for cool clues like this to my next Mac conquest; unfortunately, I don't recall a project specifically like this one offhand.

It's always been on my "to do" list to integrate my Local Talk network with the rest of my LAN with an ethernet bridge, but I've just never gotten around to it. I'm not sure I would expose it to the internet, though. Although I often wonder if all of these old systems with all of these unpatched vulnerabilities have actually ended up being secure again in a way, since no one would think to look for them any more, or know how to exploit the vulnerabilities if they even knew what they found?

For System 7 Apple created Apple Open Collaboration Environment. It was very early internet, and not much for web, but for communication. I think it was included with System 7.1 Pro(?). I remember setting it up on my Quadra. I used it for email both leaving messages for other family members on our LocalTalk network as well as getting email from internet sources. Is this just a project to expand the capabilities to modern protocols and security? Is it building on PowerTalk, or is this something new from scratch?
