Good question.  I do not think AppleTalk supports any
other serial settings than that of LocalTalk, though,
and the normal PC serial ports cannot match those
settings.  You'll need an AppleTalk card on the PC to
use the emulator in this way.

However, since MacOS supports Ethertalk, you could
have an Ethernet card in the PC and one of those
bridge thingies that converts between LocalTalk from
the IIGS and Ethernet on the PC.
