I am suddenly also interested in connecting our Macs (low end models) to Ethern
et since Ethernet is being installed in our building. I know almost nothing abo
ut the details of doing this (this is my first time reading this discussion.) I
need to know about Ethernet cards and TCP/IP communications software. I see Mac
Tcp mentioned and am guessing that it might be of interest. Cost is an importan
t consideration for us. Someone has suggested using an 8088 machine with a Loca
ltalk card to connect our Localtalk network to Eithernet. Is this worth conside
ring? Any helpful information would be appreciated.
