Re: New kernel's for Mac..
I have kernel 2.0.33 in my macintosh vx and I can connect to my linux box from
the other macs I have via telnet (very useful when the linux Box´s keyboard
hangs), vua ftp and via appleshare.
The only I´ve not yet tried is to make telnet, ftp, uucp, ... is from my linux
box to another machine.
Do you mean this?
