  Has anyone had any experience using DayStar's LocalTalk PC card for
microchannel PS/2's?

  I have heard that it works fairly well with PCShare on a LocalTalk network,
but I'd like information on some of the networking programs that work on top of
PCShare.  In particular, will SU-PC/IP and/or NCSA Telnet work properly with
this card?  I'd also like to know how it works with TOPS, but that is less
important since we don't use it much here.

  I know that the standard distribution of NCSA Telnet doesn't work with
LocalTalk, but the modified version with the ltalk driver works fine for ISA
machines.

  If anyone has information about other LocalTalk cards for microchannel
systems, I'd like to hear about them as well.
