Amazingly enough, a management-type guy came to me today and asked what
sort of computer I would like on my desk, since we are getting away from
the mainframe world.   He started talking Mac II and PeeCee, I naturally
suggested Amiga 2000 w bridgecard.  Even more amazingly, he said `Hey
sounds kinda neat'.  Since we have a few Mac II's and a lazerwriter here
talking via appletalk, the question came up
           "Can the Amiga 2000 speak appletalk?"
I naturally replied `HellifIknow'.  THerefore I pose the question to the
net: Can the Amiga be networked into an Appletalk network?  I seem to
remember hearing that there are TCP/IP boards for the Amiga.  Is there a
way to bridge from a TCP/IP net to appletalk?  In general, what sort of
ethernet (or IEEE 802.3) connectivity (hardware, software) is available
for the Amiga?  Please EMail replies, if you develop this sort of
hardware I would appreciate some info.  Maybe we will buy some Amys and
stuff... 
Thanks,
