There are several alternatives.  The FASTPATH box from Kinetics will
let machines on Ethernets talk to Appletalk nets, with the appropriate
software (available, I think, from Columbia).

Another alternative -

Van Jacobson at Lawrence Berkeley Lab has a program which runs on a
dedicated Macintosh (ideal job for a 128K machine) and uses a simple
reliable protocol over a serial port to speak with Unixes, and they
simply sends the stuff over Appletalk to the LW.  Probably can use one
of the new Laser Spoolers like the one from THINK.
