This is a question for you network administrators. I have a Mac and a
Sun. I frequently need to transfer files (big rgb files) between them.
Tired of shuffling floppies, I decided to get some kind of Ethernet
connection for my Mac so that I can telnet to my Sun workstation and
ftp the files.

I just got an EtherTalk NB card from Apple. After I installed it, I found
out that it would not allow me to use LocalTalk network and Ethernet
network at the same time. In order to switch between networks, I have
to open the Control Panel, choose the network I want to use, and reboot.
I just can't believe Apple could be this stupid!

I've seen people using a Mac on the Ethernet while connected to a
LocalTalk network at the same time. But I don't know what it takes to
have that setup. Could anyone give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help. Please send e-mail to:
