TOPIC



    Can I use a TokenTalk NB Card with MacTCP? I would like to encapsulate IP
    packets in TokenTalk packets and route them through an AppleTalk Internet
    Router to a DDP-IP gateway, such as the GatorBox.

    I know MacTCP is unable to use the TokenTalk NB Card directly, but I want to
    encapsulate IP in DDP and strip the AppleTalk off at the gateway.

    If that is not possible, can I go from LocalTalk to the router to a Token Ring
    backbone to a router to LocalTalk to a DDP-IP gateway?

DISCUSSION

    Yes, you can use the Apple TokenTalk NB Card with MacTCP if TokenTalk has been
    selected via the Network CDEV. (We have tested this configuration with a
    GatorBox but not with a FastPath 4.)

    NOTE: It is important to remember that MacTCP 1.0 will not work across a
    router, including the AppleTalk Internet Router, if class C addressing is used.
    Class A and class B addressing, however, work properly.
