At the moment, it's being done by physically unplugging AppleTalk, plugging in a serial line to a Sun and setting the switch on the LaserWriter. I know there are products like LocalTalk/Ethernet gateways that allow this, but this seems like overkill. So - what "lightwight" solutions are there to this problem? I don't read this group regularly, so this may be a common question - if so, feel free to e-mail rather than post. -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
