I saw an advertisement for a box that you can plug into a LaserWriter
that is a protocol converter between Ethernet and AppleTalk.
Does anyone know the name of the gizmo off hand?

What we're doing is setting up an Apple network using existing Ethernet
network and we don't want to go to the expense of wiring in an AppleTalk
network so the Macs can share the LaserWriters. From what I understand, this
unnamed box links the AppleTalk port of the Laserwriter to the Ethernet
netowrk and allows the printers to showup in the Chooser of the Macs?

If there is a better solution than these converter boxes, I'd also like to hear
...Thanks
