Keywords: unix, appletalk, transfer, RS232, mail Message-ID: <412@motbos.UUCP> Date: 25 Sep 88 13:40:45 GMT Organization: Motorola Semiconductor Products, Woburn, Ma. Lines: 29 Is there a product available to allow occasional file and/or mail transfer between a Unix SysV R3 machine and an AppleTalk/PhoneNet MAC network using RS232 as a physical transport ? The primary purpose of this link would be to allow outputting of ASCII lp spooler files from the Unix system to the LaserWriter on the net. RS232 is desireable over Ethernet due to low cost and the relatively low usage. From a hardware standpoint, it appears that the Shiva NetSerial (RS232 to Appletalk) will satisfy the hardware requirements. . In addition, any mail/file transfer servers that would work in this environment would be useful.
