This is not exactly what you asked for, but it will keep local traffic local.
StarNet Communications sells a localtalk bridge called the StarBridge.
The current model has only four localtalk ports but future products will
have twelve ports plus an Ethernet.

This product is not a repeater or a router but a ALAP level bridge that only
forwards packets to a network if the destination node is on that network.

You can call Larry Wible at our office at (408) 739-0881 for more information,
or send E-mail to <larry@starnet.com> or FAX (408) 739-0936.
