I have a case of new in the box Thomas Conrad ARCnet cards, and more
different ethernet to localtalk boxes and software than most people even
know exist. Cheapest is to download from Apple the now free formerly I
think Sonic LocalTalk bridge software (running on my starmax right now
bridging the localtalk segment with my NEC laser printer).
