You can connect your PowerBook to any standard Ethernet
network. The built-in Ethernet supports EtherTalk Phase 2 (AppleTalk
Phase 2 protocols for Ethernet networks). The built-in Ethernet does not
support EtherTalk Phase 1 (AppleTalk Phase 1 protocols for Ethernet
networks). You can also purchase products that allow you to communicate
over Ethernet using other protocols, such as MacTCP.
There are two ways to connect your PowerBook to an Ethernet network:
m Connect the PowerBook between other devices in a network.
m Connect the PowerBook to the end of an existing network.

to the network.
