If you can track down a Cayman GatorBox CS (they show up on eBay from time
to time), that would be a cheap way to bridge between LocalTalk and
Ethernet.  In addition to sharing files from Macs and Linux boxen (via
netatalk), newer versions of Marinetti include MacIP support.  If you set up
the GatorBox to provide MacIP service, your GS can access anything with an
IP address.
