Good question, Ross!

I know an answer, but it is not the way to go:
  Kinetics FastPath. 

Ouch!  costs around $1500 for our special University of California
discount.  I think they are around $2400 otherwise. This is overkill,
as a FastPath is designed to handle an entire LocalTalk internet, not
just one device.  Unfortunately, the electronics involved are pretty
much the same.

This COULD POSSIBLY be a product begging to be marketed, for all 
you lurking entrepeneurs.
