Brice,
Thanks a lot for the help . . .
But I canıt try anything just yet . . .
I still have to compile ethertap as a module and then install itdo you have
something packaged that you could send? I canıt find the actual module
anywhere. YDL 2.0 (Iım in the 2.4 kernel) only has the source (?).
and YES I AM interested in using AppleTalk . . .
