My neighbor and I are connected via AppleTalk.  He has a Sun Sparc workstation
with a Gaterbox (Ethernet to Appletalk) converter.  I am running a Mac SE/30
and we are connected with phoneNET adapters. 

The problem:  I cannot figure out how to connect to him with TeleNET 2.3.  I am
able to enter his internet code and when I select Open Connection, it says that
it cannot find him.  I am, however, able to access his hard disk over Tops, so
I know that we are connected.  He has configured his Gaterbox, but he isn't
familiar with the Macintosh environment.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can connect to him?  I am quite certain the
the problem is at my end of the network.  I am quite unfamiliar with TeleNET
and the Unix environment.  I would like to work on his Unix machine, though, to
learn it.

Thank you in advance for any help.
