	We have used AppleShare on EtherTalk and are using a mainframe
communications package over EtherTalk.  If everything is on Ether it
is a big win. (i.e. around a ten fold speed up, but it depends alot
upon the specific application)  However there is a huge lose if you
are communicating from LocalTalk to EtherTalk, it is over an order
of magnitude slower.  TRY to keep everything either one way or the
other, because if you are using both Ether and Local you are going
to have big problems.
