I'm interested in all this since I have a Mac IIfx, Mac Plus, and a
laser printer all connected via localtalk.  I also have a modem on
each Mac, which means I have no more serial ports to use to allow the
Plus to be used as a terminal for the IIfx running A/UX 2.0.  What I'm
looking for is the most inexpensive way to allow the current localtalk
network to be used for accessing the A/UX system from the Plus.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
