Progress report: I made the adapter and turned on the shiva fastpath.
After a few seconds, all of the machines connected to phonenet
flashed a message: "Your appletalk network is now available".
Not that they could not see each other before; but now, the
fastpath box seems to have "zoned" the appletalk network;
the Appletalk control panel in all machines now has different
info in the "current-zone" field, the "Network" field and
the "Network Range" field. Wow. Talk about self-configuration.
The "network" application in the Powermac 8100 shows the named
appletalk zone under a tab, containing all of the machines currently turned
on. There is another tab, named "etalk" (probably by the previous
owner of the fastpath box); I guess that's the ethertalk side
of the network. I haven't connected that side to the enet hub yet;
I need to do some reconfiguration first. But things look good.
