There have been a couple of postings about AppleShare PC. I wasn't able
to send directly to the posters, so here is my reply, in case it is of
general interest:

The AppleShare PC card is no longer made/supported by Apple. It is now
a suite of products from Farallon.  From their letter:  "Owners of
AppleShare PC products can upgrade to PhoneNet Talk 2.02 for $75 or
can choose only to register with Farallon to be informed of future
upgrades by calling Farallon's upgrade hotline at 1-800-642-2026."

The software is now PhoneNETTalk (It will also, of course, work over
old LocalTalk wiring).  They also have a PhoneNET Card PC for LocalTalk.
The PhoneNetTalk software will support Ethernet, token ring, etc.

I faxed them a request for more information a week ago and haven't
heard anything, so it may be that these upgrades are announced but not
actually in the delivery queue.

Farallon is at:
2000 Powell Street, Suite 600
Emeryville, CA 94608
(415) 596-9100
FAX: (415) 596-9020

Let me know if you find out anything interesting.
