I don't know too much about the inner workings of the Comm Toolbox, but
would it be possible, or are there already tools to allow the use of
Appletalk as a communications device?

Okay, let's have an example: Let's say I have a BBS that supports the Toolbox
at least to the extent that it will support those drivers for nubus cards
and stuff. Well, have a tool to plug in as a line on the BBS, the Appletalk
connection.

Then on some other computer in the network, a Mac running some term program
that supports the Comm Toolbox. It could use the same tool to connect
to the BBS.

Make any sense? Comments?
