Apple's LocalTalk PC card was handed over to Farallon for later
development. Apple cards were fully supported by the Timbuktu for
Windows 3.x and DOS PhoneNET PC products. For info see
http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/ltalk/pc_client.html and related
pages. The DOS software works fine with MS-DOS 6.22.

I'll try to dig out the software and create images. 

I am not aware of any simple LocalTalk/Ethernet router software for the
PC that will work with the Apple card. About the simplest would be
Netware 3.2, I'm afraid.
