I am running a small ether based Internet, which is gatewayed out to
the INTERNET.

I have two MAC II class machines, one of which has a laser printer attached.
I also have a slew of hosts that are not Mac compatible,  (Unix, DOS, etc.)

Thus:

                  +-----------------+
                  | laser printer   |
                  +------+----------+
                         |
                         | (AppleTalk)
                         |
                +--------+-------+
                |  MAC II (MAC.1)|
                | running        |
                | Wollongong's   |
                | LPR package    |
                +--------+-------+
                         |
                         | (Ethernet)
                         |
                         |
    |=======+============+=========+============|
            |                      |
            |                      |
    +-------+-------+     +--------+--------+
    | Another MAC II|     |  Sun 4          |
    |    (MAC.2)    |     |                 |
    +---------------+     +-----------------+

Ok, I can print just fine from the Sun to the laser printer, and of course
from MAC.1 to the printer, but I really need to be able to print, invisibly,
from MAC.2 to the printer.

Will the AppleTalk Internet Router from Apple solve this problem, or am
I faced with the expensive proposition of purchasing a GatorBox?

Thanks /rr
