I have something better than either or both. A Webster Multiport/LT.
It's an ethernet/Appletalk gateway.
Additionally, it does DHCP for Macs on Appletalk or ethernet.
Speaks IPX, (My Appletalk Macs have access to my Netware box, and the
Netware box
queue serves my Laserwriter IIF to the Macs and PC's)
IP of course and even appears as a DECNET Node!!! etc etc etc.
Came out of a $2 bag of cables someone nabbed at auction, didn't know what
the heck it was, and gave it to me. I didn't know either, but I soon did.
Ever surf the net on a Mac Classic 2 in glorious B&W with Netscape 1.1?
According to their website, US$1900+ (and all the management software is
free to download :^)
I'm happy......
