Ok, so we've been a little quiet on the subject - after all, don't you just

Well, we've been working on a MultiPort Board that handles AppleTalk over
an RS-422.  As for how long before you can buy it? June 16th for the
MultiPort Board, and about a week later (or 2 if I go to DevCon) for the
AppleTalk networking software.
