[X-Apps] Problem: Apple Talk & Asante Router

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Albert,
I will look for others to answer your question so that I may learn  
something, myself, but in the meantime, I will tell you that I have a  
similar setup as yours; 2 beige G3s ethernetted via a FR1004C.
I simply set up file sharing and gave administrative access to each  
computer to the other one. Now, the HD for each computer mounts on the  
other desktop at startup. You can limit access to specific folders  
and/or files via permissions.
Transferring files is as simple as navigating to the HD (or connected  
drives) of the other computer and dragging and dropping whatever you  
want to transfer.
