A/UX: Simultaneous LocalTalk and EtherTalk Connections (4/95)


Does A/UX support simultaneous connections to LaserWriters on LocalTalk and TCP communications over EtherTalk, or is a GatorBox or FastPath required for a simultaneous connections?

A Macintosh running A/UX will not allow simultaneous network connections via LocalTalk and Ethernet. You can print to a LaserWriter by making it a local printer to your Macintosh as a serial PostScript device under A/UX, or by selecting EtherTalk in the Network control panel in the Macintosh environment under A/UX.
