Don't know if that's an issue or not. The only bridges that seem to work
reliably for A2 networking are the Gatorbox and some firmware revisions of
the FastPath 4. FastPath 5 boxes go through the motions, but cannot seem
to keep sessions alive with the Apple IIGS on one end.
For this A2 collector and enthusiast, it IS a big deal :-).

Subject: LocalTalk
Hi. I'm looking for a LocalTalk->Ethernet bridge and some LocalTalk
cables. Anyone have any available?
I don't have one available but the product names you are looking for include:
AsantePrint
MicroAsanteprint
AsanteTalk
in order from oldest to more recent. All three of those were by Asante.
There were similar products from Farallon and Dayna, but I do not remember
the specific product names. All of those will bridge from LocalTalk to
Ethernet, but I think they only bridge the AppleTalk protocols and not
TCP/IP.
