If this isn't your area, could you please forward it to the correct person?)

Hello. We are using your Mac/IP program here at UCSC and it has been working
out quite well. We do, however, have a few IBM PC users here who would like to
be able to use the capabilities of our LocalTalk network also.

We have been using TOPS FlashCards (and TOPS NetPrint software) to allow 
printing over LocalTalk. Apparently, NCSA makes a version of Telnet that
works on the IBM PC, but requires Ethernet connections and will not work
over LocalTalk/AppleTalk. Ethernet connections are too costly and unfeasible
at the present time, and LocalTalk fills this gap quite nicely. 

Do you have or know of a method of using an IBM PC with a TOPS FlashCard (or
even an Apple-brand AppleTalk card) to communicate over LocalTalk via Telnet?

Your help is GREATLY appreciated....
