So far I've only dumped photos on my PPC 7300/400 but the software works on anything with a 68020 or higher if I remember correctly. I may have to bring a compact mac to the fest unload the pics.. or get my G3 Wallstreet working.

Today I've been trying to connect my //c to the net using the RS232 wifi modem from the old net and Proterm 3.1. I built a cable that should allow communication. However, Proterm is unable to init the modem no matter which Hayes modem I select from the list. Are there additional...
