I just looked PC MaCLAN up on the web and it does look like the
answer.  It doesn't look like it will support my TOPS localtalk card,
though.  However, they mention a parallel port external localtalk
device that can be used and as we've noted in this thread, Etherwave
adaptors can be used on the IIgs.

The only problems I can see are that they have one of those stupid
registration pages to download the demo (I hate those things), and the
fact that it cost $169 US.  That's about $250 CDN.  I certainly can't
afford that for at least six months.  I guess I'll keep playing with
the cheap ways of networking for now.
