 Hello,

 We have two Macs here and one Lisa running MacWorks. I used to have only
two machines, the Lisa and the Mac and I used to work with the Lisa as a
file server. I didn't have the original AppleTalk box and had a direct
link instead.This works if you have two nodes only, I connected the Lisa
to the Mac as if it were a normal RC232 link.
 Now I want to put a third machine in the network, and therefore I got the
ApleTalk boxes. The two Macs can communicate over AppleTalk, no problem, but
how do I connect a Lisa to the network the official way??? Is there a
separate box for the Lisa? If there is, is it an ACTIVE box? The Appletalk
signal levels seem to be much to low: The lisa can talk TO appletalk, but
it isn't receiving anything FROM the network. (Tried this with ordinary
communication software)

 Can anyone help me here?

 Ernst.
