This is to clarify what I am asking for.

From the book "The Advantages of Appletalk Phase 2" by Apple Computers
Inc.  Part No M0785LL/A.

From a section on localtalk drivers:
"Phase 2 LocalTalk drivers will be provided with Macintosh system software
upgrades."

also

"However, certain new applicatons will require even Macintosh computers on
LocalTalk to be upgraded to Phase 2 in the near future.  The LocalTalk upgrade
software will be available as a standard part of Macintosh system software
verison 7.0."

These are just two examples from the book.  It mentions it in a few other
places.  What I am looking for is something that will give these 
functions today.


 Thank You

   Brett
