Marchintosh 2026 and GlobalTalk?

[caver01]

Hey, everyone. . . I was obviously late to the party the first couple go-rounds with GlobalTalk, but now that my SE/30 is restored and many of us have access to networking via BlueSCSI2 or other methods, GlobalTalk still seems to be a fun experiment—especially for those of us just getting their restored systems up and running.

That said, I found the great instructions by @Mac84 and I even filled out the request form googlesheet a few weeks ago but never heard back. Does anyone know if I need to poke someone about that? It’s an honors security setup, so I appreciate the list of possible destinations is restricted.

Now, maybe this is just old news now and everyone shut down their GlobalTalk stuff which is fine, but if anyone is still running file shares, printers and appreciates the exchanges, I‘d love to play along—especially if we need the next 4 weeks to get setup.

Thoughts?

GlobalTalk is still going strong! I'm not sure who is "in charge" of approvals, but the latest update on the sheet I see is from @Ron's Computer Videos so maybe he can help push yours through

Good to hear GlobalTalk is still active! I’ve been thinking about getting my setup connected too, especially now that more people are running networking through BlueSCSI and similar tools. Has anyone here recently gone through the setup process and can share how long the approval usually takes?

I process the approvals for the event... and as long as you don't make your request at like 4am CST, it usually goes pretty quick.
