What software is that?  There is nothing supplied with System 7.5 or
later than can bridge LocalTalk to Ethernet.

You can download LaserWriter bridge, which is fine if all you want to do
is print to a LocalTalk printer from an Ethernet, but you have to buy
LocalTalk Bridge if you want to connect something on the LocalTalk side
to a server on the Ethernet side.

Is there some other product that I'm not aware of?

Yes indeed.  In fact, even an SE might be able to cope.  :-)
