 I take it you mean the ISA card interfaces to LocalTalk type
 networking cable?  I'd say (for freebsd anyway) that nothing like
 this has been developed.

 The 2.2-current kernel has appletalk code in it for the protocol
 stack, but as for drivers i think your stuck.

 I think there is a product called the Webster GatorBox that
 will let you route LocalTalk onto EtherNet(ie EtherTalk) which
 will talk to a FreeBSD 2.2-current box running netatalk fine
 (for print/file sharing).
