You might want to check out the Dayna EtherPrint, which is an Ethernet to
LocalTalk converter just announced at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco.
It's a box (list price $499, but probably hefty educational discounts
available) with thin- and thick-wire Ethernet connectors and a Localtalk
connector which will basically allow printing to Localtalk devices from
Ethernet networks.  It will also handle twisted-pair Ethernet via an
add-on connector.  It works with both Phase I and Phase II EtherTalk.

Danya can be contacted at 801-531-0203.  I have no connection with the
company, other than owning one of their products and having tested many
others.
