Dear Netters,
    Please advise ...

    Exactly what does EtherPrint/EtherPrint do?

    A description I have here says ...
	EtherPrint - Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector with direct
		     connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling.
	EtherPrint Plus
		   - Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector-4 Port with
		     direct connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling.
    
    Now, my questions ...

    For Ether of the above :-) - does one end up with Localtalk one one side?
    Never mind what is allowed here.  ie, can I have a (long) Localtalk cable
    on this side to attach my LaserWriter (which comes after a 
    Localtalk connector)?

    For EtherPrint Plus - does this mean I can have 4 (longish) Localtalk cables
    going to 4 different LaserWriters?

    My questions arise from having LaserWriters not being in the same vicinity, 
    and definitely not desired to be in the same location as 
    EtherPrint/EtherPrint+.

    No, can't hold my breath till June - we already have them ...

  Thankyou, 
  (please mail too - that way I don't miss a response)
