Lisa and TCP/IP - Ethernet or ??
compu_85:
I've tried getting a stock lisa online with MacTCP... it just can't cut it. With an XLerator things work fine.
Lisa2:
It's a lot more than just the XLerator that makes this work. Running MW+II and System 7 is the real trick here. Even if you get a PPP connection or MacIP going under MW+, system 6.03 is the real limitation System 6.03 pre-dates the Internet, and as such there are no applications that support MacTCP that will work under 6.03. You will need 6.07 or later for a TCP/IP connection to be of any use...

bmwcyclist: try using NCSA Telnet, which includes FTP too. It existed in 1988-89, which is the era of System 6.0.3.

I believe there was a version that had a short-lived PPP or SLIP implementation, though I can't recall the details
Lisa2:
I have never seen a version of NCSA Telnet that had a PPP or SLIP implementation built in. Every version I ever came in contact with used MacTCP.
DogCow, what ever happened to the internet tools you were developing for early Macintoshes that we were testing for Lisa compatibility? Do you have this special version of NCSA Telnet in your download vault on the MacGui site?
