Hi,

Is there any PD software that will allow one Mac to act as a bridge for
LocalTalk/PhoneNet to Ethernet?  What are pitfalls to avoid in this area?

We would like to have a postscript speaking line printer on a Sequent running
DYNIX advertise itself as a laser printer on Appletalk.  Is there a generic C
program that we can port to the Sequent that will do this?  I guess I am asking
for a Unix lpr to Appletalk printer gateway software.

Finally, can anyone recommend a detailed book on the Appletalk protocols?


Thanks for your help

Larry
