It can't select the zone??? What a peculiar restriction?

You can always put all your networks (or all the ones you want to use
this product) in the same zone. This is called "changing your

You can also put LocalTalk zone names in your EtherTalk zone list.
This provides the "overlap" you might be looking for.
