Now we've got Localtalk and Appletalk ... What are
they and which is which?
AppleTalk is a networking protocol. TCP/IP is also a networking protocol.
LocalTalk is a cabling system. Just like Ethernet (10baseT, etc) is a
cabling system.
AppleTalk runs on top of LocalTalk.
Other terms that might crop up:
