Is there any way that a PC can be connected to an appletalk network,
and through a FastPath so that it can run TCP/IP? Here's the situation:
Our campus has an appletalk network and a shitty data switch network.
For Mac users, networking is great because all we have to do is buy a
PhoneNet connector, get the correct software and voila! On the other
hand, non-Mac users have to go through a switch that does not support
TCP/IP and then connect to a machine that does. Although I would like
to tell everybody to get a Classic if they want to do any networking,
I would like to try to find a way to connect a PC to an Appletalk network.

Any solutions? Is this a market that has to be explored further? What
does the AppleShare PC card do?
