Note that a Kinetics FastPath or equivalent is needed for this setup as far as I know. There don't seem to be any problems with using the microExplorer and these facilities at the same time, though there were one or two very early in testing TI's software. One thing that doesn't work is having the Mac and the microExplorer talk TCP out the same interface (EtherTalk or LocalTalk). Apple has recently come out with MacTCP, a TCP and UDP interface that allows more than one application to use TCP/IP at the same time, and I'm pretty sure TI is working on converting to use MacTCP, but for now you either have to reboot the Mac between using the microExplorer and an application that uses MacTCP, or run MacTCP over LocalTalk and the microExplorer over EtherTalk, as we do. -- Rich -------
