LinkUPPP! Turbo 4.0

Posted by: Realitystorm on 2020-12-06 18:33:40 has anyone heard of this before?  It looks like personal PPP server for older mac systems.  Can't find it in any of the usual sites http://web.archive.org/web/19990427121312/http://www.fcr.com/productlist.html#LinkUPPP!TurboPS

Posted by: Realitystorm on 2023-02-09 10:03:56 Finally found the company that makes this as part of dusting on my work with ARA PS 3.0's PPP features. Macworld August 1997 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Macworld August 1997 archive.org Product List and Availability Now to dig through the archive and see what I can find.

Posted by: olePigeon on 2023-02-09 13:06:47 Apple's Multiport Server came with a 6 port serial card so you could attach up to 6 modems or (ideally) ISDN lines. But it supports more than that, and gives an example of an 8150 with 3 cards for a total of 18 serial ports. That's a lot o' networking. 🙂 You can than bridge the product and manage the ports via Apple Internet Router. Pretty cool.
