A Solution (was Re: Semi-OT: Macintosh networking)

[Leo Mauler]

Found this wonderful site which covers Macintosh
Networking from OS 6 to OS X.  I'd say this is the
most comprehensive site I've ever seen on Macintosh
Networking.  It covers Mac To Mac, PC to Mac, sharing
files, sharing printers, sharing Internet connections,
the works.
