Custom creates a file called netdev.sys, which must be in the same folder as SU-Mac/IP or in the system folder. You use Custom to tell Mac/IP what type of connection to use: Kbox with KIP, Kbox with Kinetics code, or Ethernet. If you select Ethernet, Mac/IP will use the Ethertalk board *even if* you've got the control panel set to built-in. If you don't have a netdev.sys file (e.g. you don't run Custom) then Mac/IP assumes you're using a kbox with KIP. So if you have a mac connected to Localtalk, you don't have to run custom to get Mac/IP working -- Custom is useful if you want to set a static IP address or have Mac/IP use an Ethertalk board. Questions about SU-Mac/IP can be directed to macip@jessica.stanford.edu. David Finkelstein Academic Information Resources Stanford University
