   Yeah, OT started up around when, I think, OS 8 was released. Before that
you could buy the TCP/IP implementation from Apple as an add-on: MacTCP it
was called, and came on two floppies in a cardboard box. Once they rolled
out OT, you could still use the non-OT networking (if you could keep things
atraight in your mind) with a little Control Panel that was for "enabling
Classic Networking."
   (Sorry, not much new material here, but it might help someone who's stuck
in some Apple docws of that era.)
