  Call Tri-Data Systems  (408) 746-2900, ask for Cheryl Marinaro.

  They sell the Netway-1000 (~$3,500 16 users) and the Netway-2000
  (~$10k - 64 users).  The Netway-1000 uses LocalTalk, the 2000
  uses LocalTalk and (I think) EtherTalk.  Software is available
  for MS-DOS, but requires the TOPS drivers (supports LocalTalk and
  some EtherNet boards).  WARNING:  the MS-DOS software does not
  appear to be compatible with any known MS-DOS TCP/IP implementations.

  BTW, the TOPS EtnerNet drivers are available from the TOPS BBS $0
  !!
