:(3) appletalk connections for Amiga.  Obviously I am stuck talking to the
:laserwriter.  I could use the serial connection to the laserwriter, but that
:pre-empts the appletalk connection -- and I have a bunch of people who would
:not be happy about that.  Any appletalk/serial combo's out there?

	DigiFeX sells a multiport card with an Appletalk port on it. It also
has a 'regular' RS-232 port and a parallel port (not bi-directional...printer
only). I'm running their Appletalk software on our machines here at BEJED
and it works as advertised. I have a Mac IIcx and two Amiga 2000s sharing our
Fujitsu laser printer. There's even some support for the Amigas sharing a
hard drive partition (although Appletalk isn't a whole lot faster than a 
floppy...)
	DigiFeX's phone number is (503) 656-8818, they can probably tell you
more stuff... Like pricing. :-)

:Thanks for listening.

	Hey, that's what we're here for! :-)
