If you're > running Localtalk, you use a bridge (Gatorbox, Multigate etc) I know what you mean, we had ethernet cards on the macs and they just plugged directly into the router (cisco 2501) while the localtalk mac's needed a Gatorbox to the router but is there a way to plug a localtalk to a ethernet hub without using a Gatorbox?
