Hi there!

Is there a chance to use a telnet-connection from my IIgs (GS/OS) via Appletalk and a Mac with localtalk bridge to access my linux box with
a telnet client?

I'm a little bit confused after to nights with google.... :-(

Yes and No. :-)

Telnet is a TCP/IP protocol and as such does not run over Appletalk let
alone localtalk. You can use a serial cross-over cable straight from
your IIGS to the linux box.

On the IIGS, run Marinetti which includes a telnet client.

On the Linux box, setup a ppp account and modify /etc/initab to listen
on a serial port (mingetty).

Now it's a matter of setting up Marinetti to login to the linux box, get
an IP address and whala, you are connected.

There is another possibility. Use the GS as a terminal. SLIP, PPP, and TCP/IP are not necessary. A null-modem cable will work. Something like
Spectrum or ProTerm should do the job. I did this a couple of times with
some Wyse terminals and a Mac Plus about five years ago. Just make sure the settings for the serial ports are identical otherwise they won't work. The advantage here is file transfer is possible directly through ZMODEM. Muck around with mingetty as before and things should work. I don't remember if
I had to do something with the termcap file or not.

Either approach should work. I can't offer any more advice since this was
so long ago...

Later
Mike

Just some clarifications...

Telnet is a TCP/IP protocol and as such does not run over Appletalk let alone localtalk.

It is possible to route TCP/IP over Appletalk. The MacIP protocol is
used to accomplish this. You will require some form of MacIP server
and the MacIP link layer for Marinetti. Search this newsgroup for
MacIP for more information on this option.

On the Linux box, setup a ppp account and modify /etc/initab to listen
on a serial port (mingetty).

Now it's a matter of setting up Marinetti to login to the linux box, get
an IP address and whala, you are connected.

To do this last part you will require the PPP link layer for Marinetti (assuming your Linux box ppp supports PAP authentication).
Alternatively, you could script a shell account login using the PPP
Scripted link layer.

If you only have a SLIP account available on the Linux end then you
will need to use the SLIP link layer for Marinetti.

Cheers,
Andrew
