Mac to PC networking Tired of ads?

Hints on getting the Mac and PC versions of SMAC to talk to each other over a simple LAN (no DHCP, just ethernet hubs). I've got MacIPX installed (from Starcraft (tm)), but there doesn't seem to be an option in SMAC to use it. Ideas?

SMAC is Mac->Mac only for network games. The PC version used Microsoft's proprietary DirectPlay.

Too bad. I was asking about IPX since there seemed to be an option for it on the Windows version I was attempting to hook up to.

Haven't played SMAC, so the previous post is probably right, but there is a more recent version of MacIPX floating around somewhere...the vers. from StarCraft is one or two versions old...

If I can find the files in my archives I'll send em to you

Yep. Jason Coleman is a nice guy, but he went to the Dark Side of the Force.

But this leads to another question -- how about Mac vs Linux? Any idea what Loki is doing for network code?

That's a good question - I don't know. I don't believe there is a high-level networking API on Linux like DirectPlay or NetSprocket, so they may take a very different approach.
