Visiting tonight on a $5 se/30 with a
free modem (cable was2$!) all thanks to JAG. Aside from redraws, with
a 33.6 usr, jag's7.5 advice and downloads, list of modem jumpers,
jags MacPPPsetup, netscape 2, fetch (it works!) I could do it. the
big sticklerwas getting the cable for the modem. This has been quite
a fun side project, and people like Jag have made it much easier,
really enjoyable as opposed to hair pulling aggravating sleep losing
endeavors.
thanks again,
It's a really great site (looks good in
b&w too, no mean feat)

Hello Jag, thank you for the great
website on classic Macs.
I am emailing you via lynx via zterm via
my 4 meg Mac Plus with an external floppy. (and a hayes 9600 modem!).
I booted 6.0.3 on one floppy, and am running zterm from the other. I
am going to give this machine to my aunt so she can have an email
machine. Thanx,
Trey
P.S. lynx is really cool to
use!
jag,
just a note of thanks. i'm emailing you
from my B&W Mac Classic 4/40 running sys 6.0.7. I downloaded your
getting on the web pack signed up for a free isp provider with free
POP mail account (just a recent thing here in New Zealand) and
brought a 56K global village modem from work for a very decent price.
your turorials were very helpful and i was up and FTPing and sending
email in no time.
Your website is an absolute credit to you
and the mac community, keep it up.
Cheers
Hamish
PS I may yet upgrade to sys 7.0.1 and get
this puppy on the web but the novelty of using sys 6 hasn't worn off
yet!?!

Jag:
Great site. Thanks to all the links and
resources I've got my 1 meg Mac Plus doing email, ftp and telnet.
I've got it booting off the built-in floppy with 6.0.8, AppleShare,
PPP and MacTCP and SuperFinder. Fetch, Eudora and NCSA Telnet are
served up from a 6100/66 running 7.5.3 over PhoneNet connectors. Next
step is to get an external floppy for the Plus and let it do ALL the
work ;-)
All in all pretty good for a $5 computer
and a $3 modem.
Thanks again,
Simon
