I really hope Mac OS 10 someday can do it over AppleTalk!?
I have a bunch of 68k machines for server purposes (web, ftp, mail) which they do really well, and I want to speak with them. I haven't upgraded my G4 to 10 yet, and the reason is that I am almost terrified of all the things I would have to change, restructure, rewrite, reconfigure, when that day finally comes. Using Classic as a relay might be a way (although I do not quite know what it involves) but ulitmately, I really want the (future) 10.x to be able to directly speak to my little servers!
