Does anybody knows how to implement a direct conection between MS DOS and Mac Os X?
I have a point of sale running on a PC MS DOS (the MS DOS included in Win 98, I'm not running win, only MS DOs) and another computer, a Mac (MAc os X Panther) and a crossover cable conected to both. I'm also running MS DOS Box on the Mac, optionally.
If is there a genious who knows how to establish the connection, my mail is: hectordomingo@prodigy.net.mx

You will need a CAT5 Ethernet CrossOver Cable and a Network Card in the WinDOS PC which has a NDIS3 Driver available.
