Not what he asked...
The answer is yes, you can run Liason or the InterNet Router on an AppleShare
Server. (Presumably, you'll also want to run the Laser Spooler on this same
Mac. I'm doing this at several clients' sites.)

Liason 2.0.x had some problems running on AppleShare servers, in a few odd
cases. The just-released 3.0 should be completely clean, though. Farallon
ran a very extensive beta test program.

No, it doesn't. It will connect _one_ LaserWriter to an ethernet. It's a
workable but not particularly nice solution.
