MacIP
(ver 11.1)
Abandoned Freeware


MacIP is a conversion shim TSR, which allows applications that 
speak only to a PC/TCP Packet Driver to communicate through a 
LocalTalk speaking ODI adapter.  

The AppleTalk network, as incorporated into Apple Macintosh 
computers, uses ODI over Ethernet.  The MACIPETH.COM shim is 
Class 1, while the LOCALTALK.COM shim is Class 5.  Under nearly  
every circumstance you will be using MACIPETH.COM.  

-----

 
Like with all NICs that use ODI, you will need to load the two 
part ODI driver, which first consists of the universal LSL.COM 
TSR, and then next the NIC hardware specific ODI driver TSR.

Second, you will need to load an additional AppleTalk TSR stack, 
which allows non-Apple hardware (your NIC) to be recognized on a 
physical LocalTalk Peer-to-Peer network as a valid Node.  It is 
best to use either a Farallon Computing or Apple Computer stack 
(as stacks from other vendors -may- not work).  

- Optionally Third, depending on the AppleTalk software version 
(because Apple changed the protocol slightly), you -may- have to 
load an AppleTalk compatability patch along with your AppleTalk 
stack.  The one offered by Farallon Computing is labeled 
"COMPAT.COM" (and although I have not personally tested it, I 
believe that this shim is -not- required when using the Farallon 
AppleTalk stack version 2.62).

Finally, you can now load the PC/TCP Packet to LocalTalk 
conversion shim "MACIPETH.COM", which allows application software 
that only talks to a PC/TCP Packet driver, to now speak with the 
AppleTalk stack instead.

AppleTalk Compatibility Patch
(ver 2.01)

As a convenience, I am including the Farallon AppleTalk Protocol 
Stack "ATALK.COM", which was bundled with their PhoneNET hardware.  
This stack is capable of being loaded from the command line.

A complimentary AppleTalk Compatatability Patch "COMPAT.COM", which 
was also bundled along with their PhoneNET hardware, is also being 
included (but it should -not- be required when using this version of 
Farallons AppleTalk Protocol Stack).
