Am I correct that I need a system 7 machine to get on #globaltalk?

I have a PowerBook 540 but it’s on 8.1 IIRC. Was considering getting it out for #MARCHintosh

@amyworrall Any AppleTalk-enabled machine can be on globaltalk, but the router is a bit more picky. It has to be in system 7, but it can be an emulated version on a modern machine. Or there’s jrouter, which runs on modern Linux.

There are handy guides here: https://marchintosh.com/globaltalk.html

@amyworrall Your router can be on System 7 but you can also use something like jrouter, which I'm running on Linux (don't know if it runs anywhere else)
