Are you sure on this final point ? I have simultaneously run several
copies of LocalTalk Bridge on ethernet'ed Macs on a network with
hardware LT routers without problem. In each csae, this was to connect
an LocalTalk spur to the ethernet backbone. I thought the restriction
was that you can only have a single installation of LocalTalk Bridge on
a LocalTalk network segment.
