Can I use Telnet across AppleTalk Remote Access? Do I need MacTCP on both computers, and will dynamic addressing work?
Yes, Telnet sessions can be initiated from a remote Macintosh using AppleTalk Remote Access and MacTCP. MacTCP only needs to be on the remote Macintosh; the host Macintosh only acts as an AppleTalk bridge. MacTCP behaves as if it were on LocalTalk; dynamic addressing does work.
