Dummy adev


The University of Melbourne djh@munnari.OZ.AU April, 1996 version 2.0 The Dummy adev is a client of the Network Control Panel under classic AppleTalk and the AppleTalk Control Panel under Open Transport. As the name implies, the adev does absolutely nothing with any AppleTalk packets sent to it. The Dummy adev is designed to be used on single serial port Macs (ie: the PowerBook 500 series) to allow AppleTalk to be left enabled and the serial port used for non-LocalTalk purposes. Normally, one would expect that switching to EtherTalk would solve the problem. However, on an un-networked machine, this sometimes generates an error. The Dummy adev is available via FTP from munnari.OZ.AU as the file mac/dummy.adev.2.0.hqx To install, un-BinHex and copy to the Extensions Folder.
