Sorry if this question has been asked repeatedly, or is too obvious, but:
Can a Mac II with an EtherNet card such as EtherPort II or EtherTalk etc.
serve as a bridge for the rest of a local-talk network, or must I use a
FastPath or similar box?

I want to try attaching our small AppleTalk (local-talk) network to a VAX
with the minimum expense.  Suggestions?

Thanks much.
