Keith,

I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do..Do you use a FACStar or
are you talking about the Mac FACStations (on the Calibur for example) ???

If you want to connect the Mac FACStation to a Windows NT server, there
shouldn't be a problem as the Mac knows how to "talk" in TCP/IP (Mac TCP or
TCP/IP in the Control panel). I haven't specifically tried this with
Windows NT, but our Mac FACStations are all connected to a 10BT
Ethernetwork with UNIX servers (via TCP/IP). If you have problems setting
up the Mac for this let me know.. I don't know enough about Windows NT to
tell you what to do on that side, but the Mac side I can help you...

However if you have a FACStar then I assume that you are still with a HP
300 and this doesn't even have a ethernet built in.. so if you want to
connect this one, you would probably need a specific software called
FACSnet from BDIS, although I don't even know if this works still on the HP
300 or only on the HP 340 (the BDIS guys on the net should be able to tell
you this...).

Voila, hope that helps, and don't hesitate to contact me directly if you
need more details..

Matthias
