You'd need a hardware router to convert the ethertalk coming from linux to
localtalk for the IIgs. I have a Kinetics Fastpath 4 box which does that very
thing on my home network. Can't comment on how linux would work with it since
I only have Apple hardware which includes two Macs on ethernet plus a IIgs
and three localtalk printers on my network.
