Hello All,

I would like to put a file server (an older Mac, PPC 603 or 604) on my home
Ethernet network. It would also function as a backup device. But the
filename restrictions of 32 characters is a show-stopper. Is there any way
to remove this limitation on the old Macs?

Also, Mac OS X Tiger's AppleTalk support (or lack thereof) makes it more
difficult to mount a older Mac's drive on the desktop. What can be done
about this?

Thanks for any advice. Also, if Linux might serve as a better solution on
the old Macs, I could be up for that challenge.

Regards,
Jay
