A main difference between MacOS 9 and MacOS X is that MacOS X
disables its stacks whenever there is nothing on the other side. I
guess you imagine what the nightmare it is for us developers dealing
with MacOS X when users come and complain it doesn't work. It is
often difficult for us to figure out what failed, especially
considering that most of the time we do use a router ourselves.
While connecting without a router or a hub is doable, it is quite
difficult, especially when you don't have any feedback on the actual
state of the network stacks (this is also why Escale has little
widgets telling you that the interfaces are up).
