You'll have to ask Cayman, but from "theory", you should be able to
use IPTalk and EtherTalk Phase 2 together. Just treat IPTalk as a 
"Non-Extended" network - just like LocalTalk is (and always will be).

Note that it may be wise NOT to use network-ranges and zone-lists on
EtherTalk Phase 2. Treat it as if you have a "Transition" network. The
point here is that (although you're not using it for this) IPTalk can
only handle Phase 1 routing information if you are sending packets
between routers (is there a word for this?) over IPTalk.

If you're only using IPTalk to connect to a nonrouting host or hosts
(like a CAP host) then it should work fine with "extended" Phase 2.
